Rachio 3. Dc valves have worked for 8 months but recently started to get zone faults. I think it’s because I’m using 24v dc valves. What solenoid to buy in order to switch it to 24v AC?
I have included a pic of the Valves I have
How many posts are you going to make about the same subject? It would be much better to leave all this information in one post.
Like mentioned in both the other threads, I don’t believe you will find a 24ac ball valve that will have a low enough current draw to work with Rachio. Quite honestly, I’m surprised that you had ANY success with the DC valves to date, but that is 100% why you are having zone faults. This might be a question for someone like @gene, but there is a chance that you may have hurt something internal on the Rahio unit trying to power those valve.
