Help / Running multiple valves simultaneously
« on: June 04, 2020, 02:03:50 pm »
Hey,
I set up some drip zones with pretty low flow. I separated them in order to have flexibility of relative water application so i don't have to change flow rates on drippers to tune everything. My well pump and pressure regulator aren't super exited about running one low flow zone at a time. The pump needs some flow to keep the seals cool and the pressure regulator is pulsing more than healthy.
My question is, how do I turn on multiple valves simultaneously? This is stated as a feature on the Bluespray website.
If they were all running for the same amount of time i could wire them together, but that defeats the purpose of splitting them up.
The only way I can figure out is to have each zone assigned its own program and schedule and then turn off stacking runs. Having 8 zones to do this seems like it cant be right. If i want to change the start time I have to edit 8 schedules instead of 1 which is cumbersome.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you!
