SPRINKLER TALK FORUM - You Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Hello

My sprinkler system was installed with an indexing valve (a black cap with pvc pipes coming down into the ground. the black cap has 6 screws on top) to control 2 zones--1) rotors and 2) spray heads. The rotors mainly water the grass, and the spray heads get the orchids, flower beds, etc. At present I water every other day using an Intermatic timer that only lets me set 12min cycles. So the pump comes on, waters for 12, rests for 12min, and then waters the other zone for another 12. I have no choice on selecting the zone since the valve does it on its own.



I would like to specify that the heads come on every other day and that the rotors come on every 2 days. For example. I realize I may need a different timer, but what I ultimatly want is to be able to control the zones manually or electronically. Does something exist that can do that?



Thanks

Any modern controller will have multiple schedules.

ok, and what type of valve do I need to get that can be controlled?
