One Zone Cutting Out

16 years ago

I have a 6 zones. One of the zones will operate at full pressure for a while, but will shut off before the cycle is complete. It may take 15 seconds one time or 15 minutes another time. I believe that this is the same zone that I replaced a solenoid about 6 months ago. Any ideas???

Sounds like the solenoid again, or the wiring on that valve may just simply be loose. We find all the time that wires will be connected, but grab them and move them around and the valve starts working. We use King waterproof wire nuts to get a waterproof connection.
Good luck,
