- If your sprinkler station or zone won't turn off when it is supposed to and the sprinkler station or zone just stays on continuously, then you have found the right video. This happens a lot and especially if you are on secondary or pressurized irrigation water. You probably had to turn the water off to the entire sprinkler system just to keep the station / zone from running. Pay attention to each step that I will show you in this video to avoid all the pitfalls that you could run into along the way. If you miss just one little thing you could be still having issues and not know why or worse cause more or other issues. I have packed as much information as I could in this 8 minute video about how to go about solving this issue without causing any other issues. Once you have done this correctly and it has resolved your issue, you will rejoice. You will have a new understanding that will help you forever with your sprinklers. Hope this video helps solve your problems and look forward to hearing your success stories! Until next time!
I replaced the entire valve due to it not shutting off. It still won't shut off if the irrigation is on . Sometimes it will stay off but then it starts again in the middle of the night . I e disconnected all electrical to rule out the electric issue
I just did this to a rainbird 1" valve. But instead of running water I cleaned it all with a shop vac. Lol. Shop vacs are great for drying out holes etc when doing repairs. I use and old 3 gallon Ridgid from home depot. Worked.
Easily Most cornice and comprehensive explanation of the 5 or 7 I looked at. Mr. sprinkler man, you might educated yourself out of a job today.
Your advice really helped me troubleshoot a system with which I was unfamiliar. But after flushing the lines 3 times, it seems I got all the grit and grime out, other than two surprisingly large pebbles. But with no way to get them out, I figured they wouldn’t harm the Pipes because they were wedged in place and trapped in a non-critical location. Anyway, your thorough and thoughtful advice was much appreciated. Thank you.
I've been having the worst luck with rainbird anti siphon valves. They keep staying on. No amount of flushing or part replacement fixes it, including diaphragm replacement or new solenoid. Even my 1 year old rain bird anti siphon valve is staying open. I replaced it last year for the same problem. Honestly not sure what to do other than just call it quits and rebuild the system with better valves.
I don’t even know where my valves are 😂😂😂
Ive got 2 valves acting up 3 valves and 3 zones in total . The other day zone 2 did not shut off meanwhile zone 1-3 ran and shut off correctly. I closed zone 2 at the valve due to over watering. Come next cycle zone 1 isnt turning off until zone 3 is done? I appreciate the helpful info!
Hunter video had a few things to try, one of them was to open the manual bleed which fixed my problem (at least for now?). There was no need to disassemble the valve for me.
OMG thank you so much for this video. I watched three videos before this one, and I changed the solenoid and gasket and neither one worked. The water kept flowing when turning the main water back on. After watching your video, I followed your instructions and like you said after I put everything together and turned the water back on, the water did flow still and then stabilized and turned off. Everything is fixed now and I am sure you saved me a few hundred dollars in having someone come out and fix it. Thank you so much!
yay! this resolved an open sprinkler issue with a new valve and solenoid. Crazy, must have been some debris or bad assembly, but it is working correctly now. Vendors blaming someone's controller should take note that it could be their valve. 😃
Excellent and simple tutorial. Great job and thank you. Every tutorial should be like this, straight to the point, no music, no weird humor and no unnecessary dialog. Thank you
Straight and to the point. Very easy to understand. Thank you
Found some pebbles in the control valve as a result of the city installing a meter on my secondary water line. Thanks for this -- all is well again!
Appreciate the video, you saved me the time and money to call someone. I popped open the housing and underneath the diaphragm was a small rock. Appreciate the time you took to make this.
You saved me a huge repair bill. Thank you so much for making this video.
Thank you very much for your thorough explanation! I was able to get my sprinklers to communicate with the controller! And yes, remember to put the spring back in! 🤣🤣
Thank you for being straight forward and to the point!
I was delighted to find this video because you're addressing the exact problem I'm having with my drip system. I used a 3' piece of pvc pipe as a "stethoscope" to hear water flowing more clearly inside the pipes (I have an 8 zone drip system for my ornamental garden). I easily found the problem valve. I've yet to address the repair, so I'm really happy to heed your caution about making sure no debris gets into the valve during the repair. If I'm successful, thanks to you, you've saved me a significant charge to have a repair person do the work for me. Thanks for being so clear and informative!
Great video; very thorough tutorial. Learned more from this than any other.
Fantastic! I cannot thank you enough! Kept it simple and to the point! Thanks again for taking your time and putting this out!
