Right now I see no box so it might be in the ground with one of those 6” covers.

As for the manifold is there a specific box to get there is a lot of sizes and not sure which one to go for. For those I’ll go in person to home depot to pick up.Īs for the manifold is there a downside to these versus inline single ones? The guy would warranty that or orbit if he installed. I know what wires to get based on a quote from a person trying to rip me off. I purchased the orbit start pump relay, picking up rachio today with outdoor enclosed. But like you said better late then never. We spoke through email you replied to my initial email and when I asked if it was possible for you to help since you were local with questions.

INTERMATIC SMART TIMER FULL
When I turn on, one zone turns on and when i turn it off and do a full circle to pass pins and turn on again the other zone turns on. I read your post awhile back about the pins and made sure to asked but there’s only two zones. (three pins to turn ON the zones, and three to turn them back off). Are you sure you have two zones? There are six pins on the timer, indicating that you likely have three zones. Do not hesitate to ask and you should have a straightforward conversion. Most of the important questions will come as you get stared. On that note, please verify if you have 1 inch plumbing or 3/4 and buy an appropriate valve.Ībove ground valves come with the anti-siphon valve (back-flow preventer), which you strictly do not need but there will not be any negative side effects from having them.įor anything else I’ll refer you back to comment, he did a great job outlining the needed parts.
INTERMATIC SMART TIMER INSTALL
The valve manifold that has linked to in #4 of his responce is great if you wish to bury your valves, but with just two zones, it may be easier for you to keep the valves above ground and install a pair of above ground valves, such as these from Orbit (link), again be sure to check “other sellers” for prime delivery. Your pump & start relay should still use both pink wires for the full 220V.īe sure to buy a multi-meter, from the DIY savings, in order to verify all of the voltages and turn off the power at the breaker before working with any of the wires. Ideally you’d run separate 110V to the Rachio enclosure, as has mentioned, but you can also use either of the pink wires with the white wire to get 110V. You look to have 220V (two pink wires) and Netral / GND (white wire) running to your old Intermatic. Be sure to check other sellers, if you prefer to use prime shipping. Start relay you’ve linked to will work, looks to be the same version as sold via homedepot / lowes, but with unrelated photos in the listing.
INTERMATIC SMART TIMER FREE
You are free to explore other controllers, but few will be able to comment about any particular system outside of what we are familiar with. I recommend Rachio 2 or 3, as “e” version is missing flex daily schedule which is personally my favorite. Be sure to include in front of whoever you wish to see your post, for example, otherwise it will not be very visible for them. Hi how did you try to get in touch with me? Did not mean to ignore you, but as has mentioned, I do not have time to read every new post lately. I would have access to a volt/ohm meter for testing, too.

PVC pipe to connect to manifold and manifold connections.Some 120 VAC rated wire and conduit to wire in the Rachio external enclosure.Enough field wire to run from the Rachio to the above manifold with at least three wires (common and two zones).A two maniofold valve system to replace the indexing valve setup.I think this is the one, didn’t have time to double check the switching draw -> Should be available at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Make sure it is a low power (on the relay activation) so it won’t pull too much current when switching on. Pump start relay for the size pump you have.I know Gene has been busy with good situation personally. sorry I missed your original post, it is a volunteer community.
