Good advice. It's always nice to hear alternative ways of doing a repair.

$15 hand pump that I bought at my Rain Bird distributor years ago.

I did it. First tine I have had to replace sprinkler. I don't know what suction thing is he used, I just waited until dirt was dry. I did put doughnut around my master piece.

Do have an opinion on RVAN vs HE-VAN Vs VAN? If price was not a factor, which would you prefer to own?

[@Iscaper]

I've been using the RVAN nozzles because they look cool when watering. The neighbors love them.

Thanks Kevin.

Could you tell what you used to suck the water out of the hole ? Thanks

Sue Buchanan I guess you never found out ... I could use that tool a lot!!

I hope you found your answer after 10 years. Ugh. Anyway that is just a siphon that he used. I've seen variations of it at Home Depot and Harbor Freight tools. It looks like a pool noodle (but solid plastic) with another noodle/tube attached inside of it (smaller). You pull a handle or one tube up and down to create the suction.
