Hunter Pro-C Irrigation System

[kennymacdonald]

I have a Hunter Pro-C Irrigation System in my new home. I've gotten pretty good at turning on single stations on the fly and programming them, but I want to run ALL stations simultaneously (temporarily, had yard sanded). Is this possible? I can't seem to figure out how to program it to do so.

It seems that it only does one station at a time when programmed. I would also like to know if its possible to do multiple stations simultaneously as well. For example Station 5 is my flower bed. I would like to run all stations but station 5 simultaneously, just watering the lawn, not the flowerbed.

Thanks!

You will have to do this manually from the valves. If you know where your valve boxes(green lids) are, open the lids and turn the solenoid(black w/ wires on top) until you hear the water running. You will have to do this for all the zones you want turned on. The reason you can't do this through the timer is a lack of water pressure to run all the zones at once. The zones, if installed properly, will have the max. amount of gallons per minute for your water pressure.

Oh ok, so then I just program a single zone?

Kenny:
Those are wonderful controllers. Go to Hunterindustries and download a manual. You can do almost anything with that controller. I'm over here in Kingsport, TN (East). Whenever I put in a new or existing irrigation system, those Pro-C's are my choice.
You cannot run all stations at the same time--it would take a 50HP pump with 3" lines to give all heads enough water to run.
Like Ashton mentioned--you can open two of the solenoids by counter turning 1/4 of a turn. However you can program all stations for a couple of minutes and they will run one after the other until they get through their cycle. The manual will walk you through it. I can even give clients instructions over the phone.

Remove the time entered from the flower bed zone and push and hold your right arrow button for 3 seconds. All of your zones will water except the bed zone. Of course they will not water all at once , there isnt enough water to do that . That is one of the reasons for zoning in the first place.

Yikes ... the irrigation boys need to keep an eye on this forum. ;) They would have a field day with some of the advise that is being thrown around.

How about just using different programs for the turf and beds, as it should be done.
