Good advice. In the new area's of TV they installed a rather sophiscated irrigation system than suppose to "sense" the moisture in the ground etc. etc.
Problems! Anybody else had problems with their system? I've had two different ones out-----still a problem. Does anybody know how to fix these "things.". Iam about to have the less sophiscated system installed and throw this one out. @&(;&@!
