How do I set a timer for a sprinkler system? I accidentally unplugged it, I got it to work for the back yard, but the sprinkler in the front yard is not going!!!

You serious? I plugged it back in and it is worked to turn on the sprinklers out back. I'm thinking, maybe I don't know how to program it. I can't get the sprinklers in the front yard to go.

are they on the same system? Maybe the back goes on before the front

Berk,

This is an easy one! Do what I do -- just keep pushing buttons until stuff happens. Then make your service call. That way, you get your money's worth and the service guy actually works. Otherwise, he will push one button and look at you like "you big dummy!" If you have pushed all the buttons, he will be impressed!:sly:heeheehee:heeheehee

[berkeley]

okay, so it waters in cycles... there were two sets of sprinklers in the back yard, one started when the other stopped..
so I decided to check each 'zone' manually... and nothing.. the front is not being watered!!! ugh!!

Sounds great... I had a NutriSystem meal. I'm sure the box would have tasted better. :)

Arph just left from here... he saved the day! I feel so stupid! The front sprinklers do run on a different timer, but for some reason they have not been turned on since the lady left for Germany... and I did not get anywhere near it!! So, I can not be blamed for that!!!:lol

I didn't break these... lol.. they are old and it just so happens that they are giving up the ghost during my stay here.

One summer I stayed with my aunt at the naval air base. I knocked some things off her wall.
I ripped the end border off of a blanket.. I broke a drinking glass... I messed up the shower door..

ARPH,

UNREAL!!! the homeowner is on messenger right now and she says that the front sprinklers have to be turned on at the side of the house!!!!

do it early in the morning, than again in the evening, than go to whatever the watering schedule was

[berkeley]

k.. thanks man...

[Arphaxad]

yeah, you want to flood it, since it hasn't watered for awhile, you might want to fertilize it in a week or so too, nitrogen based stuff will get it green again.
use lots of water, especially in this heat.

Hehehehehe! This reminds me of this one brother that was really prone to accidents. Anyway, once, back at this one church I used to belong to, we were redoing the platform and he was trying to hammer a nail in. He swung the hammer up and hit himself squarely in the forehead with it! :killinme:killinme:killinme:killinme We laughed so hard when he did that we couldn't get any work done for at least 10 minutes or so. Then, after it happened, he was never able to live it down! :killinme:killinme

2 yrs ago I broke the shower. I turned the faucet off.. but I turned it too far.. it was a perma-leak. I did that to the kitchen sink, too.
