There is a space between the pins...but only one space. I'm in South Florida and these sprinklers run year round. They were working well with that one space between them. I'll try spacing them further apart, but I don't think that this will resolve it. Thanks!!
First of all...thank you so much for taking the time to help me! I have an Intermatic (Type 3R...whatever that means) timer. When I don't have any zones on the working one is off as well.
I don't know if I have a master valve...thus the name "sprinkler dummy." Each zone that I dial to turns on that same one zone. The pressure appears normal.
Today, I noticed that only one of four zones appears to be working. I tried to manually turn the system on and off to get it to skip from zone to zone. Each time i turned it on, it repeatedly activated the same zone. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
