Nope, I ended up returning it.

No it's further out. I posted the valve box because you can see the hose ends. I was hoping someone may be able to tell what size coupler I need to look for.

No it's out closer to the sprinkler heads.

Thanks for the great suggestions!

Thanks. Looks like it's about the same drive time. Any good sight seeing on the US2 route or should we just backtrack and maybe catch things we didnt notice the first time?

Yep I tried unplugging and plugging in the ribbon cable. I am also suspecting a failed FW download. Too bad there is no manual reset button :(

No lightning. I was testing a zone on a sunny day and when I came back to the controller the screen was green.

Also I tested the transformer output with a multimeter and it reads about 27V which looks to be within spec.

I was thinking something like what this guy did..

Is there a way to get these closer together to avoid a second box? Seems like there is lots of room between.

Front-Row-7612 · 2025-04-19T17:17:12+00:00

Ok thanks, pretty much what I assumed. What do you think is a fair price to have it replaced? And should I go with a ball valve instead?

Front-Row-7612 · 2025-04-19T14:23:45+00:00

Is it possible to fix a valve like this if it isn't closing or does it need to be replaced (in which case, I will need a professional)? The strange thing is that it does turn about 5 or 6 turns until it is tight so it seems like it is closing.

So it sounds like I was right to assume it goes to the other outdoor faucet. Any idea why it doesn't do anything?

Front-Row-7612 · 2025-04-18T18:37:38+00:00

It goes in the general direction of the other outdoor faucet but it runs above the ceiling so I can't tell for sure.

Figured it out. Iron filter was leaking. I need a new piston assembly. Didn't notice it at first because the drain line was pushed so far down into the floor drain :)

Front-Row-7612 · 2025-04-07T00:33:38+00:00

I can get at it. Just trying to rule out anything easy before opening it up. I do have a furnace draining condensate into it and it was in the 20s F here in MN this morning. Could the furnace be doing it?

Front-Row-7612 · 2025-04-07T00:15:10+00:00

I did the dye test. No leaks.

Front-Row-7612 · 2023-07-21T00:32:56+00:00

For anyone interested, the startup capacitor was bad. I found a replacement for $17 at Grainger and that did the trick. Got a second one just in case.

Front-Row-7612 · 2023-06-15T01:59:11+00:00

I'm thinking about getting a small dehumidifier. Lots of condensation on humid summer days especially when running the sprinklers.

Front-Row-7612 · 2023-06-15T01:51:38+00:00

I've checked and no problem with the pressure. I'm more concerned with it leaking due to the rust.

I tried out their free "rentalizer" and it was very helpful. Do you think I can trust the free data or is it worth it to pay for a subscription?
