The problem is, once it has cycled through areas 1,2 and 3, it starts over again! Only program A is shown to be working (not B or C). We have tried all we can think to do, other than a complete reset, to no avail. Also, because the system insists on cycling twice, we decreased the run time to 5 min. The problem is, the system automagically changed the running time (to 14 min) in each area. Could this have been a lack of rain thing, and the system automatically compensates by increasing run time? Anyway, the double cycling is the irritating (and costly) problem, and any help in correcting this would be appreciated.

Thanks

There should be only one start time for “A” unless you want to run all zones a second time later in the day. The way you have it set now is for three programs, (A1, A2 and A3) that all have different start times. Zero out A2 and A3 and it should run only once starting at the time you setup for A1.
