How to fix Gardena water distributer and gardena water computer getting stuck?

[abhijeett]

I have a Gardena water distributor, which has four hoses attached to it, and five and six is capped and closed for the Gardena water distributor. The distributor is working with the Gardena water computer. Now, when I turn on the computer manually for water, it goes through a cycle of all the four outlets and then gets stuck at five. For it to work again, I have to open the hose from the top and release the pressure, and then it automatically resets to one. What can I do to permanently fix it and what is causing it?

Hi @abhijeett,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

I can't say I'm sure how to best address this issue, you'll have to allow me to get in touch with Gardena when they reopen tomorrow to see if they have a solution to this issue.

Can you advise which specific water distributor and computer you have? Possibly this GARDENA Master Water Computer and this GARDENA Automatic Water Distributor?

Please let me know so I can provide Gardena with as much information as possible.

Hi @abhijeett,

This is a common occurrence when the manifold hasn't been set up to ignore unused ports. You should find some orange levers on the distributor's inlet side. Look for levers five and six and pull them to the centre, which is the off position. This should prevent the distributor from trying to run the manual cycle through them and instead cause it to return to one after it's done with four instead of getting stuck on five.

Let me know how you go. If that doesn't solve the issue, we can continue to troubleshoot it for you.
