We've been having problems with our sprinkler system all spring and summer. Which is especially annoying since we're in Canada and our sprinklers are in TV.

Before we left TV, we tried to set the system to come on once a week. We thought we had it mastered. (We previously owned a CYV for two years and had no problem at all setting the sprinkler system). However we were advised by Village Watchdogs, our housewatch company, that the system was coming on several times a week.

So we had a "specialist" come in to examine it and reset it to one day a week. Recently our neighbour called us to say that the system no longer comes on several days a week, it now comes on three times on Tuesdays!

I think there must be a flaw in the "master controller box", the whattiz box, or whatever it is called. If we're going to call in a specialist, we should have the direction and flow of all the sprinkler heads checked.

I'm just wondering the best person to call for a total "makeover" of the system.
