Ok... continuation from my previous topic. I had a bad zone due to a short in a wire, and thus used the wire from a flower bed zone to fix the bad lawn zone
I then decided to connect the 2 different flower bed zones (#6 and #10) and make both #10.. but as expected, there is not enough water pressure to make both zones operate correctly.. Zone #6 is pumping out about 75%, while zone number #10 seems to be only about 50%, as the sprayers do not reach full height and spraying distance.
Any idea on how to increase the pressure to simultaneously operating zones?? I saw something called a "doubler", which looks like a switch that operates zones separately via on-off cycle , essentially turning one wire into "two wires" to operate the solenoids separately during the cycle, as long as they're not set to runn back to back .. the "doubler" is a bit pricy at $119.
Any other thoughts?
