Also, why does my sprinkler system cycle twice?A common reason for a controller to repeat a cycle is too many programmed start times. Only one start time per active program is required, a second start time will cycle the program an additional time. Individual stations are assigned to a program (A,B,C). The controller will operate the stations in numerical order.Similarly, why does my Rain Bird Sprinkler System keep running? A common reason why a program is repeating is that you have a second start time set. The start times control the exact time your ESP-Me timer will begin to water and they also control how many times a day your timer will water. The ESP-Me allows you to set up to 6 start times per program. Besides, why do my sprinklers keep running? There are two reasons why your sprinklers would continue running: It’s possible your valves have been opened manually. You’ll need to locate your valve box(es) and turn the solenoid(s) clockwise until snug. The solenoid is located on the top of the valve and looks like a cylinder with two wires protruding out of it.What does Rain Bird do?Our mission at Rain Bird is to be the global irrigation industry leader by: Profitably providing defect-free, high-value products and services that promote the intelligent use of water for worldwide irrigation applications.
