    Answer This Question

    A:  In order to answer your question accurately, we need to know the model number of the older Toro controller you are using. Most likely, you connected the incorrect “2” out of “3” wires to your system. We look forward to helping you fix the issue.

      I actually replaced the sensor. I had it before but I broke it cleaning the gutters. I replaced and tested with no problems.

      Best purchase ever!
      No more worries about wasting water. This product works every time it rains. Since I've installed it, my water bill has dropped dramatically.

      Water Waster
      I installed this exactly as instructed on the north side of my house out of the direct sun. I set it to turn off my system after 1" of rain. We had 6 inches of rain in the past week, including 3 inches yesterday. This silly thing still had my sprinklers watering my lawn. I had to adjust it 1/8" to get it to turn off the system. Toro's instructions are a joke!
