- Learn about the basic functions of an irrigation controller using the Hunter X-Core irrigation controller as an example. The timestamps below can be used to skip to specific sections of the video:
0:29 = Setting the Date and Time
2:27 = Setting the Irrigation Start Times
3:44 = Setting the Irrigation Run Times
5:24 = Setting the Watering Day Schedule
6:46 = Seasonal Adjustments Function

I come back to this video every year lol, very well done
LOL, this is hilarious. I do the same. I guess I'm getting so damn old I forget what I learn the day after. Oh well, that's next year's problem.
Thanks! This system was driving me insane!! This simplifies things. I actually understand it now.
This is how tutorials should be done. Excellent tutorial, sir. Thank you.
Excellent basic guide. Thanks so much for your clear explanation of each feature… way better than the user guide. 😊
A very clear and precise instruction video on how to properly use this system.
Thanks for the great video!
I have got a question: I have added one more station into program by mistake, I made the run time 0 for that but in this case once it goes to program 3 as time is 0 it automatically goes back to station 1 and then 2 and does watering again. How can I delete program 3? Thanks
Thank you for the training! I’m all set, my st Augustine grass will now flourish.
I'm finally beginning to understand this system. Most of the other TH-cam videos on this system cause more confusion
Thank you for this video; it was VERY helpful!
WOW. That is a real great video. Presented very well and I can understand it crystal clear now
Excellent demo video. Very happy with this as it's exactly what I needed. Very happy with my sprinkler system.
Thank you for posting this. It was a huge help
Just bought a new X-core to replace my old EC. It's about 20 years old so it's time for a upgrade.The old EC is doing weird things, running both a and b programs even though i set the b program to "off" and then i check the "b" program and it's on again, weird?? and i can't change the minuets when setting the time. The arrows in some positions seem to skip over some of the functions. Anyway i look forward to getting my new 6 station X-core. thanks for the video.
Thanks for your video, I learned a lot from Watch it, but I still don’t understand some settings,I set up for water my lawn one time every other day in morning, but each time water meter ran 3 times, I only set up water for one time. I don’t know why? It’s some settings I should change?
Thank you for making this so easy. I really appreciate your video.
Thank You, for some reason you are the best explainerer
Took me 4 years to finally see how this is done lol prior to that I figured out 90% on my own
Excellent video! Thank you
Thank you! Very helpful video.
Hi Bruce, thank you for your video. Very helpful. I am new to irrigation system. We just purchased our house and we do not know anything about the sprinklers. Can you please tell me which month of the year should I be turning on my sprinkler system? in which day of the month should I be shutting it off? This is our Vacation Home.
Just what I needed thank you!
What is A,B,C within each zone?
Thank you so much!! I needed THIS explanation! Love the simple way you put it! I read the manual as well as watched multiple TH-cam videos and still didn’t understand what you just explained. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🍕🍕🍕🎉🎉🎉
I do have a question, can you explain how to set for odd and even days? My days are even and I can’t figure it out 👁️👄👁️
This helped me set my irrigation system in 6 mins.
Pretty good video, what does the A on start time and run time mean. Also what is the PRG button used for thanks in advance.
Means “Program A”, it’s the saved settings you just programmed. You can program other programs “B” and “C” with different start times and run times.
Thanks for making it easy to understand
This video is a godsend. Thank you!
This video was a great help in setting up my controller. But I have one question. What is the reason I can only program one start time?
Thank you so much!! So clear.
Clear and persise instructions.
Pls how do you cancel multiple time
Very good thank you.
I thought that if you choose manual then switch it back up to run, that the system will run all the zones that were previously programmed into the box?
Really good video. But my system keeps running program and B. How do I get rid of that program B???
What are the different between Sensor bypass and activate? Thanks
How do you turn off a 2nd start time
Thank You this is very helpful.
Hi great demo. I'm a first time user... To test the system I used the manual "put it through the paces" mode for 2 minutes. Unfortunately, the last station didn't stop. Am I missing something? Everything appears to be set for 2 minutes. I had to stop the water at the street, as not even turning the system off would work. Thanks, James
Shut the system off by rotating the to knob to system off before running.
Helps a lot.Thank you
Thank you so much! We had no idea how to use our sprinkler system!
How do you program the B and C zone
i was hoping to see a discussion on program a / b/c
me too... not sure all the settings of this system
If have all 5 zone run times set for 15 mins each, do they all run simultaneously, or should they run 1 at a time for 1 hour and 15 mins? I only have 1 start time set for program A.
I’m having the same issue. Mine run one at a time each for 15 min at time
It runs 1 zone at a time. Depending on how large your irrigation system is, theres probably not enough water pressure to run all zones at once.
Please do a video on how to remove interval it’s keeping my watering days from working the system is not operating.
Excellent!
If I get a lot of rain several hours before my program run times and if I turn the knob to off and the day after it skip the schedule run times if I place the system back to manual will it continue to run the schedule day and times the next cycle? Thanks
Your video is really helpful thx
Save my life ! Thank you very much 😊
Lol I’ve never seen this video I wish I would’ve just looked it up years ago 😂 it’s so easy now
What if I need 2 start times, I water in the morning and late afternoon during the Summer (Florida). If I create a second start time will it run the whole system twice m?
Thank you ❗️
Thankyou ...a question please..how to turn the "second start time OFF"?
Thanks
I did this but why did my sprinklers turn on on a day it wasn’t supposed to?
Nice video great job.
I did exactly as the video instructed and it’s still only activating one small portion of my lawn even though I set the run time for all four stations. Does anyone know a customer service line for Hunter?
Thousand thanks…and likes!! 😊 I appreciate your thorough walkthrough 🎉
Best video yet!
Thank you
Thank you so much I just start mine and it's work last year I paid $60 for start this time they came to start but I said no .
If you want to run a morning and evening time on water days how do you do that?
I’m assuming that’s what the additional start times are for.
I assume it's the "A", "B", "C" settings that controls different run times. So Setting "A" could be your morning, and setting "B" could be your evening. I surprised he didnt explain that very well.
@@jamesmolesson9991 I just set it on one setting and instead of morning and night a few times a week, I just set it on daily to simplify it.
Wish I knew more specifically how to get to A, B runtime. Trying to run twice a day, 7am and 7pm. During setup it goes right to B how do I get to A then B? Thanks.
Just what I was looking for! I set it to b, idk why it's not on A. I'll see if I got it right.
Thanks for sharing
Easiest explanation yet. Thank you!
Can I run just one zone on multiple days?
Great video
Good job. What is the solar sync and the bypass button on the right?
Easy to follow
How do you set a second start time- 7am and 7pm, for example.
Add it to program B by selecting downward, instead of over on one times.
@@MVPDabbawait how do I make a program B?
And if I understand this right.. you do program A for 7am for however long (5min) then you do a program B with a start time at 7pm? For 5min?
Never do a second start time on the same program (start time 7am program A and scroll over for start time 7pm on program A)
go to start time. second start time and add the time you want. You do 1 start time if you only want to water one time that day. Hit that right arrow to the second start time and proceed.
This a a great tutorial. I understand the system better. But I have an issue and I’m not sure how to correct it. I have my settings to run three times a week in the morning and when it is finished the cycle of all 4 zones, He starts to run all over again. What can I do to correct this?
I did not understand the final step, we hold the prg buttom for 3 seconds to do what?
Thanx bro, u saved me 100 bucks😀
good video -- thanks
Comment programmer pour avoir de l'arrosage seulement aux jours paire (EVEN DAY ONLY)
HOw to progress to water the peirs day
Do you leave it on run always?
What is sensor bypass / active switch
Thank you.
really it’s very well Video..
You didnlt mention anything about the program button (I have the Pro C). Can't you set different schedukes fior each station by programing A,B, and C differently? I don't want the same schedule for each station. because they are watering different things which require different frequencies of watering.?
water days do not work as set, checked the date and have a 24 hours set, and if I set for Tuesday, the sprinkler will not work, but it will work on a day after, what can it be done to correct the schedule
After it goes thru the cycle 1 station to 6 station it goes back to station 1 and starts again. How do I fix that? Thanks.
same problem, was hoping he'd show how to turn it off
Mine stopped working, I have checked the outlet. It's only 2.5 years old. I checked the wiring, everything was tight, replaced the internal 2032 battery and ran an extension cord to the unit into a different outlet, still nothing. Any help or replace?
what if you need two start times for new lawns how do set that?
Ok, thanks, but how do I set it to do it 2 times per day?
How to reset the timer of irrigation?
Why it’s mixing my set up hours even if I put 9 pm first time it’s sending it on 4th
what if you have a 2nd start time (3:25) on and you want to turn it off? How do you do that?
and wow, I got this now
How do I set my controller for twice a day.
how come my hunter x2 will only go to zone 4 I have 8 zones amI missing something? thankyou
How do I just run one station?
Did he miss a step on how to set how many time you can water per day? Also what's the A and B part mean?
That’s what I wanted to know
This is a good video if you want just the basics of what the controller can do. However, this video does not explain anything about the differences of the cycles or what the A, B or C stand for and how to use them. That information would be very helpful.
Upload full video ..
Wair canection please
its on Run mode and screen is off
My system doesn’t function as described
I want to off the sprinkler system
me too lol
En français ça donne quoi ?
This is by far the absolute WORST system my wife and I have ever used.
Mines come on when it wants to on the days it’s set
If it was painful to be stupid, some people would be in a lot of pain.
You need only 1 start time for a program it will run thru all the zones.
It's a horrible system. Did not run smoothly even for 4 months, and I have to look for support.
Horrible instructions and you need a telescope to see the icons... Poor design
