After a power outage, the irrigation system may appear broken even when the valves and piping are fine.
Check controller power
Confirm the display is on and the controller has power.
Verify date and time
Incorrect clock settings can cause watering at unexpected times or prevent a schedule from running when expected.
Review programs and start times
Some controllers retain programming through outages; others may lose settings depending on model, backup power, and outage duration.
Watch for surge-related failure
If the controller remains blank or stations no longer output correctly, electrical diagnosis may be needed.
