My guess is that you have a “dumb” Hunter type of sprinkler controller. Every controller that TV puts in is a dumb type of controller.
It takes you 10 mins to learn how to setup your controller with a simple program:
Run this program X number of days per week, starting at X time, with each zone running for X mins. You’re done. Then you will have the same setup as the other 99% that will be watering during a torrential downpour.
I swap out these dumb controllers for smart 1’s that apply logic in running your system based on how much rain you have received, what the prospect for upcoming storms is, and how much water is needed to fulfill your designated goal. This is a smart system that varies when it turns on and how much each zone gets water.
Some guy hired me to do this switch and he told me that deans/massey/somebody else wanted to charge him $800 which is crazy. My suggestion is to learn how to do this conversion yourself, it takes 15 mins to physically do the swap and 30 mins to program it.
