Question
We just purchased a home with this water sprinkler system and the next day it ceased to work.  It worked perfect the first day we moved in the next day it looks like it is going thru the cycles on the controller box but nothing happens. The controller shows it going thru the stations but no water, nothing.  It also keeps tripping the breaker. Any help you have would be greatly appreciated.  Someone said they had the same problem with the relay??  Anyway, look forward to hearing from you.

Answer
Thanks for the question.
If the controller is trying to operate the system and nothing is happening you have one of 3 problems. The controller is bad, the wire to the valves has been cut or your water source is shut-off. You mentioned the breaker tripping leading me to believe you have a pump. That is the place to begin looking.
I'll need more info about the pump or water supply to be helpful.
