5/5/2023 0 Comments Xchm hunter controllerWent to investigate and my pump melted and so did the PVC pipe. After about a month of this I noticed my grass dying. Now the pump is pumping water but there is nowhere to send the water. The controller thinks all is fine as the current isn’t 0. So if a zone opens from a fault there is still current going to the MV relay and still turns the pump on. While you have to program this MV relay and the report says there are two solenoids, the solenoid current monitoring alarm is totally oblivious to the fact there are two relays. However, many irrigation systems have an irrigation pump which is controlled via the MV relay. This is great in that situation as if there is a problem you are informed. It all seems to be based on a single zone/ relay install. If it is anywhere between that it assumes all is well. If it is at 0 it assumes you have an open. If the current exceed 800mA it assumes you have some sort of short. It is designed to monitor the AC current with some high and low threshold that isn’t settable. Had a false trust in their solenoid alarm. Ps if this gets posted note that every nickname I was required to enter to post was taken. Finally, the help pages are well documented but aren’t consistent with what I see in the app. Perhaps I’ll add a flow meter, but out of the box I’m not seeing something like “total minutes programmed per day” or something that would give me a sense of what I’ve programmed over time and to make sure I did not cross my wires among all the levels of set up. My water usage grew dramatically last month (based on my water bill) - I didn’t have insight into that. Overall insight into my set up is lacking. It’s not clear what zone settings vs program schedules are driving at any point in time. The overall intersections of options are really not intuitive- setting a time on a zone is required, then you put it on a program schedule that overrides that, so the zone schedule time is no longer used or relevant. I agree with the other reviewer about the default report to week and need to always switch to day. This is a real pain if my hands are wet or I’m wearing gloves. Other things: I constantly have to log in with my email address (no “remember me” option). Every time I interact with the app there is always some different performance issue. The performance is not very consistent- right now I can’t edit the zones - the pages won’t load.
