Two Master Valves - Can 2 be wired together?

Hello all,

We have front of house watering zones and back of house watering zones.

The way the landscaper has installed the system means that we have a master valve for the front zones, and another master valve for the back zones.

At the moment the back zone master valve has been wired into the RainMachine, but the front master valve has manually been turned on at the valve, so it's on all the time.

Is it possible to wire the front and back master valves both together on the first Zone channel of the RainMachine - will the RainMachine be able to handle the current draw of two master valves on one channel?

Thanks

  Hi, Jayson
  Thank you for your question.

  Right now, it is not recommended and it is not supported wiring two Master Valves on the same terminal on Zone 1 since the electronic part is not designed to sustain powering two Master Valves in safe conditions. Even if it would be possible, it will open and close both at the same time since it is only one terminal and you will not be able to set them individually.
  
  Thank you for your understanding, Jayson.
