Hi all.. I've got a question but probably know the answer but figured I'd ask anyway.. I've got a house with two separate sprinkler controllers -- one is an old Toro model bought 10+ years ago from Home Depot -- nothing special.. The other is a nice Weathermatic SmartLine controller that is...

Hi all.. I've got 3 of these Hunter valves that I installed about a year and a half ago in a rental property we've got. Apparently one of them has malfunctioned OR something I suppose could be clogging the pipe? I can not turn on the valve manually either electrically or by turning the...

Hi all.. We had a remodel done a bit over a year ago and the other day it was a bit cool so I turned on the furnace.. Anyway, it would run for a bit and then shutoff and that was the end of it.. After a while I noticed it wasn't warming the house so I popped up into the attic and removed the...

Hi all.. I'm guessing I already know the answer to this but thought I'd ask anyway.. I've got some existing 3/4" gray PVC conduit running under a patio that holds some low-voltage (12v) lighting cables and the sprinkler solenoid valve cabling.. I'd like to put a 110v weather-tight outlet in my...

I've got an older sprinkler installation (~12-14 years I'd guess) with 6 valves for the backyard area.. I just installed a new controller over the weekend and after replacing the wiring (2 channels were bad causing an open signal) I've found that the in-ground box had about 2-3" of water sitting...

Just in case my other thread was too specific regarding ET based controllers for sprinklers, I thought I'd see if anyone here is using any controllers at all from Weathermatic and see what you thought of them specifically with regards to quality and how they've behaved for you and if you've had...

I'm doing some homework on replacement sprinkler controllers that can monitor the weather locally in one way or another (to reduce water consumption among other reasons).. I currently am not interested in any of the brands that monitor via a subscription service from satellites (~$50/year). The...
