SVC Controller - Programming - Part 2 of 2

[@BZ1340]

Anything I can check to get this timer working. It wont come on at the desired time setting. Battery shows full. At the moment we manually turn the solenoid to water the grass. When I try manual water setting ,, 5 min. the icon shows its watering but nothing happens. Can the solenoids be faulty or Battery doesn’t have enough juice to open the valve even though it shows full. This timer is on single station lines. 1 circuit of sprinklers

I had the same problem with my SVC-100. The only way I could get water through the valve was to manually turn the solenoid to the "on" position to let water pass through. I took the controller to the local Hunter dealer. We removed the solenoid and tested it. The solenoid was good. The Hunter dealer couldn't make it work either. I bought a new Duracell battery, reset the controller then reprogrammed it. Still wouldn't work. After trying everything I could think of several times, and wasting a lot of time, I finally solved the problem. I threw the Hunter SVC controller in the garbage and bought an Orbit controller for half the price. My Orbit controller works great! Problem solved.
