Smart Valve Leak Error

Try this solution

Leak Error or Leak Identified

We’ve detected water flow outside the normal operating range for this drip zone. A drip tube should release water at a controlled rate, but the Smart Valve is currently sensing free-flowing water instead of regulated drip flow.

After shutoff, the controller briefly monitors back-pressure to confirm normal operation. In this case, pressure did not stabilize within the expected range, which typically indicates a leak, disconnected tube, or open line rather than a clog.

Recommended Remedies

Inspect the zone for disconnected or damaged drip tubing.
Check for loose fittings or emitters that may have come off.
Look for cuts, punctures, or cracks in the tubing.
Ensure the end of the drip line is properly capped with the supplied ball valve (closed position).

If the issue persists, run the zone while observing the tubing to locate the source of free-flowing water.

Once the leak is repaired, run the zone again to confirm normal drip operation.
