Info, impact, causes, and troubleshooting a "Water Source Budget Exceeded Shutdown" message.

Common Causes

• Water budget enabled as a conservation effort 
• Water budget enabled accidentally with any value greater than 0.
• Budget shutdown was enabled.
• The water budget was exceeded during the month. 

What Happens Now?

• Only the zones downstream of Water Source 1 (WS 1) are impacted.
• WS 1 has been disable and all watering has stopped. 
• Zones will not receive water from WS 1. 
• Alert: the budget was set to 25,000 gallons per month, but 25,100 was actually used. 

Troubleshooting: Was This Action Intended?

• If shutdown was intended no action is needed. 
• Can disable shutdown action, which will only send an alert. 
• Can increase the water budget or disable the water budget altogether. 
• In Base Manager → Flow Setup → Water Sources
  • Budget can be increase in Monthly Budget (set to 0 to skip feature). If Shutdown box is disabled and budget exceeded the controller it will only alert and not take a shutdown
