Sprinkler System Starts When It's Not Programmed....Same Time Everyday?
Here is the situation. I setup my timer box to start my four zone sprinkler system at 5 AM. Each section is suppose to run for 10 minutes. Zone one 5 am, zone two 5:10, zone three 5:20, zone four 5:30. System stops watering at 5:40. Well then it starts to water again at 6:00 AM with run times of 15 minutes. So it gets double watered, with the second one running longer then I would want. There is no program B setup.
Well I thought it was my timer box so I changed it out. Had a brand new box installed. Guess what....same exact thing. Same times, same issues. No program B set on that.
Weird thing it even shows on the timer box it is running at the 6 AM when the system is running. Do a stop, relook at the programming and it does not show anything.
I am loosing my mind. Anyone ever seen anything like this? any suggestions would be appreciated. Old box was a Hunter PRO C, new box is a Orbit.

the only thing that it can be is that there are two start times set on program A . most timers come with that feature just in case you want to water in the morning and evening on the same day. remove the second start time ,or you have a second timer somewhere that you are not aware of. if not email me and i will help you free of charge.
