Hunter pro-c zone watering issue

18 years ago

I have a hunter pro-c with 9 active zones. For the past week whenever I manually activate a zone to water or have the timer do it that zone comes on along with zone 7. Meaning 1 comes on with 7, then 2 comes on, etc. I have reset the contoller twice and no good. I have even replaced the three modules in the control box (PCM-300) and it still happens. zone's 1 thru 5 are in one pump control box and zone 6 thru 9 are in the other. Any thougths?

Check to see if the controller is errantly putting out power when activated by using a volt/ohm meter. If it isn't, then you have a valve issue, not a controller issue. Repair/replace #7 and all is well.

Check the ohms and if you have around 14 ohms then they are split and the wires are some how touching. If you check the controller set the meter to volts and check for 24 volts if you have zone 1 on and 7 comes on then check it to and you should not get any volts. The take it back they have a 3 year warenty.
