Long time reader, 1st time poster. A wealth of information here folks. Thanks for putting some time in to help "us" not-so-knowledgeable.
I purchased a home that had an inground system (6 zones). There is an unknown model Orbit controller in the basement (see attached pic) which was working recently. I was cross testing the zones as the valves outside did not correspond to the zones on the controller. I successfully ran a zone manually from the controller last week. Went back to set the timer up and now, there are no zones turning on, even when I switch them on manually. If I go to the valves outside and manually turn them on, they fire up. Unfortunately, I have no clue what kind of valves are in use nor do I know much about sprinkler systems, being my first time having one.
Being my knowledge on this is so weak, I want to call a company out to look into it but thought I'd give it a whirl here first, before I do so. I don't know where to start so hopefully I've provided enough info to start the troubleshooting process.
