Master valve using motor operated valve

post by trextkd on May 1

Getting valve master valve fault about 50% of the time. the valve connects directly to the Rachio controller. Would it be best to use a relay to drive the motor operated valve? This way the controller always sees a amperage pull like it does with the solenoids. Please help me, Thanks

@trextkd - a relay that would connect the valve to a separate power supply is what I would recommend.
