Easy Sprinkler Head Repair -- Hunter PGP Adjustable
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 05. 2023
- I attempt to repair a sprinkler head in my sprinkler system at home. This is the first time I've done one, as in my working past I would have probably just called a sprinkler company. But, now that I'm trying to "go country", I will tackle it myself. Frankly, it's not that hard. The Hunter head I used is fully adjustable so there was some learning associated with making the right spray length and arc rotation. It worked out okay in the end.

Great explanations! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge!
Glad it was helpful!
Yo! Steve! THANK YOU! You showed me how to do this this morning! WOW! Perfect video for an untrained, non-plumber, Dumbell!
Gonna work out fine!
THANK YOU!!!
Owen, your comment made my day! Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Thank you so much for this video. I moved into a house about 8 months ago, and just turned on my system last week. Had one of the heads blow off like this geyser and thought I was going to have to pay an irrigation company to come fix it. You saved me some $$$.
I am so glad the video helped you! Thanks for the comment.
Great video. Very informative. Thank you!
Much appreciated comments!
Yep, got mine replaced and adjusted so thank you. Just need to do some grading around the pop up and I believe I'm good to go.
I hope it worked out.
To make sure that the dirty water which you flushed out does NOT go back into the pipe in the ground, I would suggest getting a 3/4 inch PVC pipe with an adapter and temporarily screw it in maybe a turn or two. The temporary flush pipe should be long enough to extend above the ground and the grass. Then flush the system and the dirty ground water won't run back into the pipe. For most other smaller sprinkler heads, you would need the appropriately sized half inch flush pipe and adapter.
Great suggestion. Thanks!
Good job! Yours is definitely the "corporate solution"...just buy a new one. Quick, easy, requires zero skill, or experience...satisfactory outcome. Your board of directors would give you a raise, for sure.. Just requires a little capital. However, assuming the head is misbehaving and you didn't hit it with your mower, sprinkler heads can be returned to service pretty easily and you can avoid the 2 hour round trip to Home Depot. 90% of the time a misbehaving head is due to dirt. Either in the riser seal, the sprayer, or the impeller that makes it turn. Medically clean it and you're good to go. It is not rocket science, but Home Depot (corporate) doesn't like this solution. However, that head you destroyed with your mower? Fa-get-about-it!
Thanks MrGus. Great comments! I'll try that on the next one.
I am so confused now. I saw another video where they guy said these Hunter sprinkler heads go from left to right, meaning, the set position should be fixed on the left side and you just adjust the right span.
Because the head is circular, yes, it can be confusing between right and left. To me, the right side is at the right end of the Hunter PGP letters imprinted on the top when I orient the letters as one would typically read them (like holding a book to read). The arrow points to the direction that the head will stop after it travels from the left. Once it stops at that arrow, it will travel back to the left until it hits the adjustable stop and the whole process starts again. Hope this helps and thanks for expressing your frustration.
Rainbirds reference their stop to the left. Hunters are to the right.
