Need sprinkler system help
I am a bit embarrassed to post this, but I cannot seem to program my sprinkler system correctly. I thought for sure I had it set so that it only waters on Monday (my assigned watering day) at 8PM for 20 minutes per zone. But it went on again yesterday (Friday). Is there a contractor I could call that would come out and program it correctly?

You aren't alone. Those are tricky gizmos.
If your home is new, call warranty,your installer will come and explain. If your home is a resale, ask your lawn person.

Chances are you are using more than one program. Program A is all you really need to set up. Check to make sure program B is set at OFF, then check program C and do the same. Here is how to do it: Turn the knob to "Watering Start Times." On the left of the screen should be an "A", "B", or "C". If it's an "A", program in the start time. In your case, 8pm. Touch the "PGM" button and when it is "B" or "C" set each at OFF by pressing + until it reads OFF. Now go back to RUN, wait a couple seconds and move to SET STATION RUN TIMES. Check to make sure that "A" is in the upper left hand corner of your screen. If not, press PRG until it is. Check to make sure your watering times is set at the times you want. That should do it. |

My programmer has developed a mind of its own! I've lived here for 5+ years now & a couple of months ago the sprinkler started coming on at 3pm instead of 3 am. I checked it & was programmed for 3am. Again, it came on at 3pm instead of 3am. This time I checked the clock & noted that it was set for pm instead of am. I had never touched it so not sure how this happened. Then several weeks ago it started coming on at unpredictable times so now I have to turn the system on & off, I can't leave it on run. Someone mentioned in another thread to take the battery out & re-program but I don't know where the battery is & I can't open that smaller door under the main door. Even my brother tried. Is there a trick to getting it opened?
