Hunter Irrigation Controller Help & Optimization
Earth People works with common Hunter irrigation controllers and can help homeowners improve scheduling and diagnose irrigation problems.
What Can Cause It?
Controller settings, station programming, seasonal adjustment, wiring and field equipment can all affect performance. Smart scheduling works best when valves, pressure, heads, drip and zones are functioning correctly.
What to Check First
Look for obvious leaks or broken components and note which zones are affected. Avoid repeatedly increasing runtime to compensate for a mechanical or distribution problem; that can waste water and overwater other parts of the zone.
Earth People Irrigation Diagnosis
We evaluate the controller, zone operation, valves, pressure, sprinklers or drip components, coverage, runoff and the water needs of the plants served by the zone. We evaluate the controller together with the actual plants and field system.
Book an Irrigation Assessment
Earth People Irrigation Assessment — $150. We identify the highest-priority issues and recommend the appropriate repair or optimization work. The $150 assessment is credited toward qualifying approved irrigation work performed by Earth People.
Earth People LandCare — Repair the problem. Optimize the system. Manage the water.
Hunter controller problems: what to check
Common causes of unexpected watering include multiple program start times, seasonal adjustment settings, rain-delay or sensor configuration, and incorrect zone runtimes. If one zone fails while others work, the cause may be a valve, solenoid, wiring or water-supply problem rather than the controller.
Record your current schedule and model before changing settings. We can review programming, identify hardware faults and recommend weather-smart upgrades where appropriate.
