My wife wanted to send the whole hose to landfill and buy a new one. Couldn't for the life of me figure out the feature at 1:00 on my own. You've just saved us a hose and £30, thanks!
Thank you, very clear video. I have a question: if I have 4 solenoid valves will i need to use a waterproof connector with 5 wire inputs? I cant seem to find any, do they exist ?
Don't understand - what did you say, "nip that up"? Please forgive me I'm clueless about these types of things. You said it very quickly and I'm not sure what you meant? "A rubber seal?"
Question: I there any way to fix a solinoid, taking it apart? I have old Lawn genie system and one white wire coming out of top of solinoid broke off right at the top. Not enough there to solder, even. Can a new wire be threaded through somehow or do I have to buy a solinoid that hopefully fits my old Lawn Genie? Thank you!
You select red and green at 2:16 and then use red and yellow at 4:07. Really sloppy mistake. You're the type of dude that drove me nuts when I would hack my PSP or xbox and I'd have to read through dozens of threads online because someone gives out sloppy information.
So I setup 1 timer with 2 zones last year works great. Now I add 2nd set in back. Can I use P on the timer as a 2nd ground or I HAVE to tie in my old ground wire. Twist with my new ground and connect to C on the timer Thanks
I landed here only trying to verify that there was or wasn't a polarity on the solenoid wiring and found myself watching the whole video simply because it was done so well. This gentleman is very well spoken and a great instructor. Great camera work as well. Thank you for the video.
На видео худшие клапана ,все поставленные мной а это больше 100 из этой серии, протекать стали и перестают закрываться,, очень неудачная конструкция .И замена мембраны временное решение .
What multi core cable I use if I got 6 trigger ie 6 zone 6 independent solenoids . As in video u have a common and tiger cables common u link all tougher till u have 1 common cable but then i need 6 tigers wires ?
wire colors are wrong. Valve 1 is connected to red. Valve 2 is connected to green for trigger and black for common, however on the controller side you're using black for common, red for valve 1 and yellow for valve 2. In this configuration valve 2 is not going to work. It's probably best to write the color pattern on paper first.
Using one now. It was working fine, only used twice. Tried to do a refill after using it this morning and there is water only coming now. Tiny bursts of fertiliser but rarely
I still recommend a master control valve ahead of the manifold in case a control valve fails. The controller is wired to open this valve any time one of the zone program runs.
Love your video! You explained everything so well and thst makes it so easy to understand! It really helped me understand how those parts of sprinkler system work.
Brilliant stuff. Of course, here in Australia It's probably mandatory to wear goggles and steel toe caps to prevent that sudden uncoiling of the pipe and causing injury as it springs back on you, as explained by Mike ;-)
Makes it look easy for trying doing this when you got imperial tap and metric hose just won’t fit it’s a pain in the arse He has all the best connections setup but in reality people have all different connections.
Hi. Which diameter cable size is recommended to connect the valves to the controller?. 0.5mm is enough?. Or can I use UTP cable where the diameter cable size is small?. Thanks
