Sprinkler System Runs Multiple Cycles: Check Start Times

System Runs Each Zone Multiple Times in a Row

Replaced Toro timer and solenoids, but still runs zones repeatedly.

Cause: Multiple Start Times Programmed

Most controllers run the entire program sequence at each start time. If Start Time 1 = 6 AM, Start Time 2 = 7 AM, Start Time 3 = 8 AM, the system runs three full cycles.

Fix

1. Go to Start Times menu.
2. Set Start Time 1 to desired time (e.g., 6:00 AM).
3. Set Start Times 2, 3, 4 to OFF (usually scroll past 12:00 AM or press –).

Verify

Run a manual test; only one cycle should occur.
