This guy is the best I’ve heard yet! He speaks clearly and explains well . I need to play it several times and walk through with my controller. I don’t understand why the Hunter manufacturer can’t hire his expertise to produce their videos ?!

this is the best tutorial I've found so far. The only area I want him to add is how to program a, b, c for each zone. I have 6 zone but he is showing 4.

Holy crap.... I've been watching the factory video for two or three times and just one viewing through yours made it understandable. My system had 5 different start times for A, B, and C. All I really needed was "A" with a run time of 0200. Now I'm not going to be dodging the putrid sulfur water that my well is pumping out five times every other day. Don't know where you are located but if you get near Florida, you got a pizza coming to you. Many thanks!

Thanks for this. My installer had set four start times so that we had water running down the street. He came out and tried to fix it but since he didn't understand the start time issue, the problem had persisted.

Im not a computer programmer! Im so frustrated with this system. Wish they made one that would come up on my computer screen with photos of my yard. Touch screen. It should ask me, where, when , how long...and have a nice day! My life would be so much easier. 😢

@@padinoel261 Rachio has a fantastic wifi controller. I highly recommend it for homeowners with less than 17 zones. Hunter also has a great range of wifi controllers however they can be difficult for homeowners to navigate - aimed at high-end users and professionals.

It is a very good tutorial for people like me who do not have a clue about any of the electronics in the house! :D Thank you so much! I have a question: when I set watering days, do I set odd days or days of the week or both? Does one setting that I choose overrides the other? And what happens when I choose odd day and Wedsday as a watering day, and Wednesday happens to be an even day in the calendar? Will my garden be watered then? I hope that I am explaining this right :D

Very good tutorial. The instructions that came with the controller are not clear at all regarding distinguishing between programs, cycles, and stations. My irrigation installer for my home system was using the term zone which complicated the issue. As a practicing landscape architect, my irrigation designer did not recommend Hunter products for this very reason.

I have the hunter x core, with 8 station but I can only get 4 to operate, how do I program a fifth station? I opened the tab to the 5 station put my drip line one there but when I scroll stations it just goes to 4, any advice? Thank you.

@irrigationtipstricks7797 6 ай бұрын

Are you sure it has 8 stations? Some of the smaller controllers will have 4 stations but when you open the tab at the bottom it will show 8, however, only 4 of them have outlet ports (screws). I believe Hunter does this to save costs on mass production. If that's not the case then I suggest contacting a local pro as I would need to physically see the controller to diagnose it and perform a voltage test with a multimeter.

my controller unit is 18 years old. and while the basics in this is good it fails to address resetting the old unit. Having tried unplugging and leaving it for a few minutes , when it is given power it does not reset to the date/time option. I have reached the end of ideas.. any suggestions?

@irrigationtipstricks7797 6 ай бұрын

There should be a reset button on the controller that you hold down and then release. If that doesn't work contact customer support for the controller or call your local supply house.
