Flooded Valve Boxes After Rain: Waterproof Wire Connections to Protect Controller

New System; Valve Boxes Filled with Water After Heavy Rain; System Dead

Valves operate fine submerged if solenoid connections are waterproof.

  1. Have the installer waterproof every solenoid‑to‑field‑wire splice with waterproof wire nuts (gel‑filled or silicone‑sealed).
  2. If connections were bare, water can short the controller output.

Once connections are sealed, the system should work reliably even with wet valve boxes.
