Anyone have issues with the wires being cut? I've had the wire cut on two in a week. Def not a weedeater, either a neighbor or animal. Getting pricey.

Flow switch is a simple on/off. If there is not a least a foot of pvc on either side of the switch, the vane fatigue fractures. I cut my wires & twisted them together with electrical tape covering wires, turbo chlorinator is on, light is out & I'm not wasting $60 on flow switches.

No problems with that line and I've got two big dogs (about 70 pounds each) in the back yard. They leave it alone. Could it be squirrels or another animal?

It has happened to me two times over a period of a few months. It was definitely cut and not broken. I trimmed the two ends back a little bit and spliced the wires by soldering them and wrapped the wires with electrical tape. It has been about six months since the last fix and the system has been running fine. I added a couple more cameras to my video surveillance system to cover the back yard so, if it ever happens again, I will know who did it.

I ruined one of these by hooking up wires wrong to battery, it didn't work correctly so I was desperate. If you hook it up wrong once it is destroyed, I ordered another and thanks to a post that explained wiring , then it worked fine, hope this helps

Well your kind of lucky because I just realized both of mine are wired like that. I followed the wiring instructions and I seem to have the same problem. Something is backwards and coincidentally I was going to look into it today. I really thought I had it right the first time around. Oh well. If you find the answer let me know , I'll do the same.

You have to cut the end of the strip and make the 4wire's to show. Some times the color of the wire's s are not the some as the wireless controller. You have to be careful when striping the wire. The wires are very small.

may I suggest that you just tie the cords together? Grab the plugs (already connected) and with both wires together, gently tie a big knot. THe strain will then be on the cords and not on the plug. Save yourself money and time

Yes, that is what I do. I run a bailing wire through it and wire it to a fence post. Keep up with it, they will disappear quickly in the beginning and slow down as you start weed out the critters.

Check Amazon for their return policy. As for the manufacturer warranty, I usually don't bother with it due to cost of shipping and I threw the box away long time ago. Wires are still operating fine after 6k miles

Maybe you need a wire relay harness, I couldn't get mine to work first few days. Make sure all your wiring is correct. I had mine wired wrong first few days, it finally worked after tinkering with it for days. I've had them installed for months and they are awesome. Good luck, try contacting seller, he helped me a lot.

The reason I ask, gave 2 for Xmas gifts, raccoons took 1 side/wire as it was not secured. Pain in a__ to have to send back but wondered about warranty, which I think should cover this, would be happy with replace wire BUT they don't make it easy for direct contact w/ Birds Choice.

I wish I could help. Im having the exact same problem. We recently moved and I tried to pack it back on the bag it came in and ended up bending the wires. Good luck though!

I haven't found one on mine, but I was having similar issues back when it was raining heavily in the area. I had an extension cord used, so I put a zip lock bag around (with poked holes) around the connection, then zip tied the holes off, and tapes around them with electrical tape. That helped my problem. I'm, obviously, not an electrician.

You can contact us at 805-499-4949 or email us at support@aa-comps.com. Unfortunately we will need more information before we can correctly diagnose and fix the issue (which may be the result of wires moving around during shipping.) We will be glad to help!

Have had no issues like that - actually no issues at all with the unit. I'm sure you have already but I would make sure the cable didn't get off the spool, if it is bound up that could cause the problem. <edit> Appears I had the same general idea as previous poster.

Easiest way to tackle this is have two people. Just spread the fence out on the ground. One person at the "top" the other on the "bottom". Work on each wire individually. If it seems it's hanging out too much on the top of the bottom, and not enough vice versa, just "twist/flip" the wire and it should re-align. Sometimes you have to use pliers to re-hook the ends on the correct section . It's a pain. *trust me, we did TWO of these*.

Chris is right, I spoke with the elect who checked mine when I hooked it up. He said, not only will that not work right with the way the wire hookups are in the heater, it's against most elect codes. I would put in new breakers and wire just to make sure everything is good. You wouldn't want to fry something that's so expensive. Mine has been going for 4years now..... Still going strong.Hope this helps.

Not being cut but pulled out of the clip.There are like 4-5 small wires. Got new clip and tool reattached new clip plugged it in workes great.

Vincent, I have been trying to get someone to hook it up for me. I had the wires run when I built the house a few months ago. When i got the unit, one of the monitor screen was pushed back, I don't think the quality is very good. Or at least their QC. Sorry this doesn't answer your question. I may try to sell mine off because I don't feel that they will back it up with a warranty. I guess we get what we pay for.
