My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Problem with automatic watering - please help!

12 years ago

Brand new system - I bought it from ebay, from England. I placed new batteries. At the time it should start, I hear a buzz, but the water does not flow. Then I close the tap, I reopen it immidiately, and it starts to flow. Note that before I reopen the tap, it is still open of course. Any ideas?
