Difficult to Program to the Preset mode
November 25, 2013
Installed this about a month ago, install was easy enough, but the instructions for programming it is not. I thought I would try the automatic settings, but couldn't sure if it was working. I went and did it the manual way of selecting days, hours, time of watering and I think I have it programmed right, did e-mail for help from manufacturer, digcorp, but got no answer, so more fumbling around. It does, however, work when I go for the manual operation, but this' defeating the purpose and I'm back to where I started. Instructions seemed clear, but not sure if this will really work.
Wow! what a great idea.
November 20, 2013
Replaced my old valve w/ this new solar one from DIG. awesome no more electric to run and I can add to my line easily. I have other DIG irrigation valves in our yard can't say enough about them. These run even on cloudy days they require so little light to charge. Solar powered. Nice job DIG
