    How do I set up my system so that all zones are on at the same time?

    I have my sprinkler system blown out each fall so it doesn’t freeze.

    Do I need a new program that uses non-sequential zone settings? Or do I have to set each zone to non-sequential for the blowout and then reset them to sequential during the sprinkling season?

    thanks.

    Are you sure you want to turn on all zones at the same time? That’s likely to trip the power adapter because it won’t be able to deliver that much current to all zones. You can set a new program, or use run-once program. But if you want to turn all zones on at the same time you will have to set all zones to ‘parallel’ mode, in other words, turn off the ‘sequential’ flag. Then set a program that turns all of them on for a specific amount of time. That should do it.
