Why is my Rain Bird ESP-9V watering more than expected?
If your Rain Bird Controller is watering more than expected, it might be due to excessive start times, run times, or watering days. To resolve this, modify these settings as desired. Additionally, check the seasonal adjust value and reduce it if needed.
What to do if automatic irrigation started but no watering occurs on my Rain Bird Controller?
If your Rain Bird Controller starts automatic irrigation but no watering occurs, check the following: 1. Ensure the main water supply is turned on. 2. Check the wiring for open or short circuits. 3. Replace the solenoid if it's faulty. 4. Make sure you are using a compatible 9V-latching solenoid (Rain Bird K80920) or another compatible DC latching solenoid.
Why is 'Manual Watering ALL' not watering all zones on my Rain Bird ESP-9V Controller?
