High-flow leak; need help interpreting history

post by afaulconer on Sep 12, 2018

My settings are: Flex Daily Schedule and Cycle and Soak: Smart Cycle. Does something about this combination cause it to reenable a zone that should be left disabled because there is apparently a major leak?

Last night my schedule started at 12:31 a.m.

1. 12:31 a.m. The Back Flower Beds began watering.
2. 12:41 “High Flow Leak Detected” warning. It said “your flow meter reported high flow of 2.9 gpm in Back Flower Beds. The zone was automatically shut off.” (the usual rate is 1 gpm)
3. 12:41 “Front Left Started.”
4. 12:41 “Schedule Stopped–water was manually stopped after 10 minutes.” (when it says manually, that wasn’t me, I didn’t touch it until 2 a.m.)
5. 12:41 “Schedule Manually Started–will run for 86 minutes.”
6. 12:41 “Back Flower Beds Stopped–stopped watering at 12:41 for 10 minutes.”
7. 12:52 “Soaking back flower beds for 18 minutes.” Am I correct that “soaking” indicates a rest period when water that was just sprinkled would normally be soaking into the ground?
8. 12:52 Front Left Completed.
9. 1:11 “Back Flower Beds Soaked–Soaked Back Flower Beds for 18 minutes.”
10. 1:11 “Back Flower Beds began watering at 1:11 a.m”
11. 1:20 “High Flow Leak Detected–Your flow meter reported high flow of 3.1 gpm in Back Flower Beds. The zone was automatically shut off.”
12. 1:20 “Front Left began watering at 1:20 a.m.”
13. 1:20
