Turn the dial to start time…..then use the program button to chose which program you want….scroll to midnight using the plus or minus button and the start time for that program will be gone.

@garyssprinklerrepair12 күн бұрын
@@evks82 I wouldn’t recommend that, because if you ever need to replace the entire valve you might need to gain access to the piping below ground. The concrete makes that very difficult with little to no space to get tools below ground to cut pipes. Hope that answered your questions.

This is really helpful. Does it matter which wire you are taking from the sprinkler solenoid to the common wire from each? For example, should I use the wire closest to the "off" word for each of the sprinkler solenoids and then have those wires going to the common, or does it not really matter which wire is running to the common and which is running to a color wire?
@garyssprinklerrepairАй бұрын
There is no polarity for the solenoid wires, either one can go to the colored wire. As a rule I always use the left wire to go to common and the right wire to go to the colored wire. Just a habit, but it doesn’t matter. Hope that helps, don’t forget to Subscribe to our Channel it really helps us grow.

Turn the water off, go by another valve. Home Depot and Lowes sell “Lawn Genie” it’s the same valve as Irritrol. Take the top off the new valve remove the spring and diaphragm, swap them with the old parts. Put the top back on, slowly turn the water back on.
