Two zones come on when only one is suppose to.
Here is my problem? I have the Irritrol Slim Dial controller. I installed this irriagtion 6 water zone system 14 years ago. I have had no problem until late-last summer. When zone 2 comes on so does zone 5 and when zone 3 comes on so does zone 6 and visa vera?
I changed the controller to a new one, no change. I then changed out all diaphrams, no change.
I then checked my wire to make sure I didn't have a cross wire. No change. I then cleaned up and reconnected all connections in box, no change.
Not sure what to do now?
No, I didnt run new wiring, i checked the wiring from the controlled to value box, to make sure that no cross wiring from breaks in the outer sheathing had occurred from weathering, etc.
I only checked the connections for each hot wire and commons to make sure, that all were connected since they had done just fine for 14 years. If I disconnet zone 2 wire from controller and run zone 5, then zone 5 will come on, but with zone 2 wire connected to controller, both zone 5 and zone 2 come on?
I kept the orginal slim dial controller. I also called the manufacturers help line. There advice was that I have a wire either crossed or one them is shorting out, but I have not found that to be so as noted in previous paragraph.
