FAQ

There may be any number of reasons why your sprinkler system is not working, but most commonly this problem is caused by the irrigation system controller.

Is there a display?

  • If the control display is working, but not watering, this could be a wiring or solenoid valve issue.
  • If there is no display on the control, check the power supply or try resetting it.

If you have turned off the control, but the sprinklers are still going, it usually means the solenoid valve is stuck on. Turn the sprinkler system off at the isolation valve.

Solenoid valves can leak, just like a dripping tap, the water will accumulate at the lowest point. The solenoid valve needs to be replaced.
This can mean either the water is leaking somewhere or the solenoid valve is not opening properly.
In most cases changes or additions can be completed by a professional, though this depends on the current system
