i have an abnormal issue with my rainbird valve and hoping it's something easy instead of having to replace the entire valve i open the valve solenoid lever manually, no water i loosen the blowoff valve, water spits out until retightened i loosen the solenoid a lot (unscrewing it), water leaks until retightened pressure valve is almost fully loosened but sprinkler still doesn't turn on could there be a clog or just the valve itself is bad?

Awesome video thank you so much. Is there a way to tell which color wire goes to which zone in the irrigation controller?

Hi, l have a bet with my grandson, he thinks the word “sprinkles” is the same as “sprinklers” please tell him he is wrong. Thank you

Thank you for this video. Not only did you save me from having to cut off all my valves, you made some comments about debris in the system that helped me understand why my system needed some maintenance in the first place.

Thank you for posting this and giving such an easy to follow set of instructions! I was able to get my mom's system working again because of you!

Good video 😊

Thank you!

Turn the switch to current date time. Hour is flashing. Press the arrow button. It skips over both minutes and am/pm, and instead a calendar icon below the hour starts flashing. No amount of arrow pressing gets the minutes or am/pm to start flashing.

I was able to troubleshoot a wiring issue by watching your video. Thank you!

THANKS Gary! 👍 We have built-in water spigots by all yard shrubs/trees here in HOT Nevada and the home we bought has this old model. Your video helped me sort out the issues.

Thank you. Very helpful and to the point.

Hi there,since the power was shutdown,my system is not working.the lights is on but not running😏

I'm still having problems

This was super helpful. Thanks!

Does one station run at a time? Or do all run at the same time?

Thank you for this!!! Appreciate the detailed video explaining each.

It's great information....Thank you so much, sir!

I've got this controller and have 3 Stations set up. All of a sudden station 3 won't run. The other 2 run fine. The display and everything seems fine. I've tried it through Semi-Auto and Manual What would should I look for to see what might be wrong? Thanks!

👍

Thank you so much for this video! After watching it it allowed me to figure out how to add back two stations on schedule A that i accidentally deleted/removed (they didnt have the A under them and i couldnt figure it out for life of me!

Thank you makes perfect sense

how do I run the "A" program twice daily, 10 hours apart?

For some reason my manual program cycle will not work? Pretty simple directions but I think my enter button (swoosh) is not working

I watch this video at least twice a year. Please don't delete it!

Yes! I need to rewire a valve & guess whoo!!! My buddy gary

Slick !!! Thank you for the tips 😎

Does it automatically switch between a and b?

Hello, this system came with my house, I ran the system manually by clicking random buttons and now it does not turn off even when I see the dial at the bottom to off. Would you be able to assist me with this problem.

Hello I have this system inside the house I purchased I was pressing buttons to figure out if this works. I turned on the sprinkler heads using this but now they never turn off. Would you be able to assist me? I turned the bottom middle switch to off but that seems to not work.

This really helped ty 🎉

Thank you so much for a very good overview and lots of insight on this system. Had trouble with trying to figure out how to make this system match our new water schedule imposed by the city I live in. And you made it very easy to get it to where it needs to be. Thank you!

Can you run A and B at the same time?

Can you run A and B at the same time?

Thanks Gary that was very informative

Hi thanks for your help. New homeowner here. Just got my irrigation system fixed. As I was following the video I was messing with the different programs and switched my system to run a B program. I’m having a hard time returning it back to running the A program. Can you assist me where the dial should be to return the preset B program to my A program?

Wonderful! Thanks.

Thank you sir, got my system all set up now

Thank You it was very helpful

I have the same controller and I followed this video for easy programming. I notice the automatic setting isn't working. Is there a reason for that?

Exactly what I needed thanks

2024 and still find this video helpful straight to the point ! 🙌🏼

What if you open the cap and theres no water at all? I changed out the solenoids and used the main controller to send power to the solenoid and i can hear the electricitiy vibrating or buzzing a bit but there is no water flow? Where should i check?

Where is the am and pm? You blew right past that one. I'm not stupid but I can be a little slow on the uptake

Interesting!

3:15 Your easy to understand installation instructions made it easy to install and saved me $160!!! Thank you!

Thank you! My lawn guy didn't show up, so I had to teach myself to program. Couldn't do it without you!

Thank you so much! So helpful!!

Nice Sprinkler sir i need that here in the Philippines 😊😅

Cheers fellow earthling Gary

Very helpful video, thank you. This method will surely save a lot of work I was getting ready to use your method to repair a valve for one zone (zone #3) that continually leaks from a sprinkler head when the system is off. To find out which valve was for which zone, I manually turned the solenoid on for each of the 3 valves. The problem is, zone #1 now won't turn off. I returned the solenoid back to the off position, but the sprinklers still run for that zone, so I had to turn off the water supply. I removed the solenoid and put it back on, but it still just runs Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Should I just replace that one as well?
