hey gang,
long ago and far away, i barely remember someone telling me about a melted solenoid on a Superior/Champion automatic sprinkler actuator valve.
can someone refresh my memory so it doesn't happen to me?
i want to say the gist is:
"Never Turn Off Incoming Water with the Actuator still on the timer live" or you'll burn the solenoids.
was that the lesson?
so best to remove the solenoid while the ball valve is off? or just shut off the timer? or can you shut to volume control all the way off?
gawd my memory is goin'...
