Keep up the good work.

I tested the control panel for incoming AC voltage at the transformer it had the correct amount. Each of my 4 zones do not show any AC power leaving the box. I then tested the solenoids from the box, and they all show they are good (42 Ohms. What does this mean for my system? All the screws for the common and zone wires are secure. Any ideas?

This is a clear, concise video to help diagnose why your sprinkler valve is not operating. I used it to test the controller and the voltage at the valve itself. I determined that the connection of the common wire to two valves was inadequate. I stripped the wires and reconnected them and the problem was fixed! Thank you for an outstanding video!

Thank you!!🎉🎉🎉 I appreciate you

What if I hear water sounds and water running through the hoses when I activate my faulty zone, but no sprinkler heads come up and the sounds stop right after?

I have a station that won't work. It is getting power to the solenoid as I can hear it starting but no water... also have another station that won't turn off! Different junction for both (front and backyard are separate).

I’ve been looking for a milliamp clamp meter that’s not over 200$, any suggestions?

What if the volt out put is AC 25.6 and ohms 27.3. However, they valve will not manually turn on at the valve box. The heads pop up try to start then drop back down. Then pop up again trying to start only to drop back down and nothing happens.

They use 3M Epoxy scotch cast now for splices

I have a Hunter system that was operating find 2 weeks ago... now zones 1, 2, and 3 are functioning as usual, but zones 4, 5, and 6 are not functioning at all. I have water pressure to these zones because I can turn the solenoid 1/4 - 1/2 turn and the problem zones will operate. Interestingly, the 3 zones that are not operating are all on the same power 'terminal strip', while zones 1, 2, and 3 are on a separate 'terminal strip'. I've gone as far as to move the leads from terminal positions 4, 5, and 6 to terminal positions 7, 8, and 9 (the next terminal strip up, and visually completely separate), but the zones are still not operating... even though the controller indicates that they're in operation. I've been through the steps that you demonstrate in your video, but I'm not getting the 20 - 60 ohms on terminal strips (4, 5, 6) or (7, 8, 9). Could both of these terminal strips have gone bad? Any suggestions are appreciated...

Is that Ezreal?

Nice

Nice video, thank you, but it would be great if you specified the part number and model of the connectors you recommended.

Thank you

Nicely laid out sir, my issue was a short, detected from your resistance test.

Push wire ALL THE WAY TO BOTTOM! Half way up can cause it to fail prematurely 👍

Thanks to your video, I was able to find that my non-working station had an open circuit due to wiring being damaged by the family dog, and re-connected to an open wire that was not in circuit. 30 minutes of troubleshooting and one minute of re-connecting wires, and all stations are running correctly. Thank you so much! 👍

Muy Buen video ...corto y efectivo GRACIAS AMIGO

I'm lost for words at how straight to the point you got to each step of the process and how I'm still going to find a way to make this project be the bane of my existence through the weekend. If you see a massive jump in numbers for the views, it's probably just going to be me listening to this in my sleep for the next 4 days. Thanks for your effort in explaining everything like I'm a beginner, not an expert, and it being under 5 minutes to keep my attention. You're a gentlemen and a scholar good sir.

Podrás decirme porque una válvula que funcionaba bien ahora ya no tiene precion ? Yo cambie el solenoid y el diagfragma y sigue sin precion

Agradezci este video que hizo darme cuenta lo que pasa en mi riego, luego de haber sacado la bomba de agua para repararla, me ayudó a resolver el problema. Gracias.

Hola, que significa la letra “C” al activarse una estación? Me ocurrió que comenzó tarde y con esa letra abajo de la duración

Tengo un sistema(Rainbird ESP-TM2) que se estan quedando todas las valvulas encendidas aun apagando y desconectando el sistema. La unica opcion que me funciona es cerrando la llave de pase de agua. Le ha sucedido a varios vecinoa en la comunidad. Sera que el sistema salio malo de fabrica o problema de instalacion o alguna otra? Ya que dudo que las 4 valvulas esten dañadas.

Un control I core hunter y un control rainbird pueden trabajar con solo una mastervalve oh tiene que tener una máster valve para cada control? Porque ambos marcan error y no se si sea el problema por la master

Gracias ❤

Good information thanks

riega zona 1. Empieza la 2, a su debido tiempo, la 1 no se cierra estan regando 1y 2 a la vez. Se cierra la 2 y se abre la 3, zona 1 sigue regando. Lo mismo con la 4, es decir 1y 4 riegan a la vez. se apaga la 4. La zona 5 riega con la 1, despues se añaden 6 y 7. Cuando se riega la zona 7 se estan regando 1+5+6+7. Alguien puede decir cual es el problema.

Great job - very informative and helpful!

Que sucede cuando una válvula se queda un poco abierta y sigue tirando agua o se también abre cuando se abre otra válvula?

You lost me at volt meter....

Saludos buen día una pregunta al encender el control en la zona 1 también se acciona la zona 3

Very helpful. Tanks

I hope my comment helps someone. Check the unit! I thought A B C were the zones... but there are ZONES WITHIN ZONES, like A1234, B1234 etc... not just A B C... there are subsets in each letter. TA DA

My zone 6 was working fine yesterday after turning on my sprinkler system, but now I have a trickle of water coming out at the sprinkler at the 1st head and nothing else.

i hade 17 volts ,and you are the only one to tell me it a controller,thanks thanks

Very nice video as I was able to figure out my issue with the wiring on one of my zones. Appreciate your time to post this. Thank you.

Buenas tardes, consulta arme un sistema de riego con controlador HUNTER 2 ESTACIONES estaba funcionando correctamente ahora resulta que arranca el primer sector 3 minutos funciona bien y cuando arranca el segundo debería funcionar 3 minutos pero solo funciona 1 minuto 30 para la bomba y me indica que esta regando e inclusive el solenoide llega tensión y a los 15 segundos vuelve a arrancar hasta completar los 3 minutos. Ya probé de todo desde cambio de flotante eléctrico y nada cambio de contactor y nada, puede ser falla del controlador hunter x core nunca me había pasado

hola tengo el riego activado para unas hora pero pasa que arranca a hora que nunca se progamaro me ayudarian gracia

Una pregunta. Los conectores con grasa tienen capacidad para 3 cables. Si tengo 5 electroválvulas, el cable común debo unirlo a 5 cables. ¿ Cómo lo hago ?Gracias

Use Splice-Kote Heat Shrink Insulation Sleeves for all electrical connections... RCV's, Decoders, Low Voltage Lighting, Submersible Pumps, Truck, Auto, & Trailer Wiring, etc.

Good video.

Al girar el solenoide un cuarto de vuelta no abre la valvula...que podría estar pasando?!!!

I have a Rainbird SST600IN. The voltage across the input wire to the common wire reads 14.5 V until I turn on a valve and then it jumps to 28.5 V. Is this normal? Why is it doing this?

Hi guys hope someone can help. I have a 2 zone Node. The zone 1 is not activating (run time is OK, checked and confirmed by total run time) however if I start the zone manually it will turn on. Thanks.

Hola, a qué le llaman 1, 2, 3 zonas?

Fixed my sprinkler system in 10 minutes. Thank you for this video.

Hello there. Just want to share my problem with my sprinkler now. I have a multiple-zone sprinkler and every station is working properly except one. This station will works when you run it manually for “second time”. For example, if you run that station manually the first time, heads will not pop out. Then turn it off and run second time, it will start working. Then, if you turn off it and try to run third time, not working. Basically it’s like one time working and the other will not, looping… Do you have any thoughts what will be problem?

Sir while put on the controller to the Run mode, it's shows on display that DEC 24 alarm and other station also... Please tell about it... What is the problem
