awesome helpful tutorial, thanks for taking care in explaining everything clearly, what about B and C program, do we have any tutorial on that?

@thriveos Жыл бұрын

Program B and C are only if you are trying to water a specific zone(s) separately from everything else. So if you want to water lets say a flowerbed zone everyday, while everything else is only 2 or 3 days, then you would set the flowerbed zone on program B and set it for separate times.

@joanadicarlo2982 3 жыл бұрын

Best video I watch so far I have one question 🙋🏻‍♀️ how to clear program B I have mine wrong set up in program B and never stop finally I learn from you has to be in program A

@thriveos 3 жыл бұрын

The best way to clear the program B is go through each step starting at "start times", push the program button until the letter on the controller reads "B", and begin making sure each section is "off". Switch to "run times", "water days", etc and make sure you turn every step to "off". If this is not clear, let us know and we will make a separate video on clearing a program. Thank you!

I just moved to greenville sc, and am wondering how to winterize or simply shut down my Hunter x core underground lawn sprinkler . I have a BIB valve in the garage and also a water controller at the edge of the yard. I was thinking that all I need to do is cut of the BIB valve in the garage. OR do I need to also cut off the water supply at the yard? Also is there a need to run any of the zones in the yard ( I have 6 zones on .30 acre) Thank you for any details.

Good video, but how about setting water times based on interval, example every 3 days starting a specific day? In other words not on even or odd days or running specific days of the week.

@cynthiastandley5742 Жыл бұрын

Great video. I'm most of the way there. It's not clear to me if say you had 4 start times on one station (for growing grass from seed) every 4 hours, (with 4 cycles each) is it important for the other stations to not overlap in time sequences. I'm thinking they shouldn't. I have 5 stations and only one is being re-seeded right now. Or, if I put the station in question on program b by itself, do I still have to make sure times don't overlap. I was going to start with 10 minutes cycle time and 50 minutes soak, so there is enough time to run other stations in between cycle times. Sort of depends on the weather and heat. Again, great job!

@user-bm5lp5wp2t 9 ай бұрын

Start time only call for Strat time ,1 or2 or3 or 4 only select one time and am and that manage all the station according to the run time entered and the same for water in the afternoon PM, that's handle two time of watering a day ,AM/PM.

@Linda-nk7nl 2 жыл бұрын

Is there a way to review historical run times? Can Hunter X-Core automatically display past start/stop times? I suspect we have been watering much longer than we want (possibly due to manual programming error).

@thriveos 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Linda, The X-Core does not have a historical run times but the Hunter X2 with the Wifi Wand does. This controller would connect to the Hydrawise App and we HIGHLY suggest this controller and app to control your sprinkler system. The app has many great options and more importantly has a historical watering calendar! Hope this helps!

@bnclawnable 2 жыл бұрын

That involves installing a control valve and installing the wiring from the controller to the new valve. A 2nd option which would exclude the need for installing new wiring from the controller out to the field is to install a "Add-a-zone" unit. I suggest googling the add-a-zone product to understand more about this option.

@thriveos 2 жыл бұрын

Hello! In Texas, most cities have regulated the watering days for homes. Depending on your address, you are only allowed to water on your chosen days. For example, if the last number in your address is an even number (2,4,6, etc.) then your watering days would be Wednesday's and Saturday's. If the address ends in an odd numbers (1,3,5, etc.) your chosen days would be Thursday and Sunday. Hope this helps!

Go to "water days" and check programs B and C. There is a high chance you have days set for the other programs. Watch the video again to see how to check different programs.

@thriveos 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Shirley, Let's say your city only allows you to water your pop up heads twice a week, but allows you to water your drip zones (often installed in flowerbeds and areas less than 48" wide) as often as you would like. In this scenario, you would schedule your grass zones (pop up head zones) on program A (i.e. Wednesday and Saturday) and then schedule your drip zone on more days of the week (i.e. Monday, Tuesday, Thurs, and Friday). This allows you to water different sections at different times (days and start times). Hope this helps!

Thanks. Video helped me start. But, i am still a bit lost. Let me explain. I have 4 zones. All set and running as i want but i want zone one to run twice a day.

Ours runs the 4 zones that we have programmed, and then it starts over again. I don’t understand. Program B and C say 0 for time. It doesn’t make any sense.

?. If you use the manual run do you have to turn it to off an then back to run In order to go back to the program setting to run.?

The best option is to turn the controller in the off position for approximately 5-7 seconds to allow the controller to completely shut off and then turn it back in the "run" position. Once back in the "run" position, the controller will operate the normal scheduled programs.

It is annoying to watch your tutorial change its display (blurring) when it's focusing on your hand than on the controller. I would not say this was a good tutorial but thanks for creating one. My only question is on the Start time. When you set one start time, it is applicable to all zones since when the run time starts, it will run all your zones consecutively throughout the cycle. Is this right? Otherwise, the second start time will activate all your zones again. I hope I am right. Thank you for the presentation.
