The problem is that there are many different controller models and most technicians have never read any of the manuals. For DIYers, print off the user manual for your controller model, and read it. You will know more about how it works than most technicians who come to your house. I pay someone to maintain the outside sprinklers and fix leaks, but I won't let them touch the controller panel.
