    Start relay trips on irrigation system?
    Hello,

    I have my sprinklers running on a deep well with a 5 HP pump. The automatic sprinkler clock starts the pump and sometime during the irrigation cycle the start relay trips. The pump still runs through the cycle and shuts off as it should but then when the next cycle is scheduled the pump won't start because the start relay is tripped. Then the run relay trips and shuts everything off. In order to use the system, I have to constantly push the reset for the start relay. Can you tell me what might cause this problem?
