Valve Working But No Water to Plants: Flow Control Turned Down

Landscapers Fiddled With Valve: Flow Control Likely Closed

Zone 3 only drips. Valve has solenoid (wires left) and black X-knob (right). Rain Bird 100CV-like.

Black X-knob = Flow Control. Turn counterclockwise fully open, then back halfway. That's standard setting.

Solenoid manual bleed (turn ½ turn CCW) opens valve fully for testing. Don't leave it—use flow control for adjustment.

This is a 30-second fix. If flow control was closed, opening it restores full flow.
