Hey Guys! I started this channel because I’m single and I needed easy ways to fix things. In the beginning this channel was intended for Single Ladies and Independant Women, but in the process it has turned into much more than that :) So whether you just got divorced, are just learning something new or you are frustrated and can’t get hired help…. These videos have all been developed to show you the easy way to FIX THINGS! IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE HARD! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Just passing on what has saved me a lot of time and money. WE GOT THIS!!! XOXO Fix It Nat
Make sure you understand there are two wires . The common and the active. She talks about it being a ground. There is a difference between a ground and a common.
You ate AMAZING! I am a Single mom and the sprinklers won’t shut iff. Stupid question I know but can I get electrocuted? Working on this? Tells you how much I do not know about this.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! After a week of waiting for a repairman and the zone running and flooding the backyard, I found your video and I'm so thankful. For the cost of a $7 diaphragm the repair is done ! You are a blessing!
Thank you so much. I was able to fix my zone 1. I’m not sure how much money I just saved but I also felt a huge sense of accomplishment when it was fixed.
Do you know why a single sprinkler of mine isn’t working? It’s not the whole zone. I’ve tried removing and cleaning the nozzle, changing the nozzle but didn’t help.
Run that zone without a sprinkler head attached. Is water shooting out? If not, the problem is in the pipe. Maybe got crushed or the connection to the main line where it branches off came loose. Looks like you need to start digging to follow the pipe back to find the problem.
first of all you never mentioned what your water source was because if it was reclaimed, potable, or a well with a pressure tank your not going to be just pulling that solenoid of without killing the pressure off of it first otherwise the zone will more then likely start and you will get a stream of water in ur face from under the solenoid. next that was a rainbird solenoid you just installed and i can tell you from experience that its alot more then 12 dollars 😂😂. then you wired the solenoid then said next to put your top on ..... ahh no that top will only be put on before those wires get tied together. thats why you didnt put it on when you said that. other then that your fault isnt always the solenoid either. it could be a bad connection or bad mod on the controller so i would test the voltage to the solenoid then the ohms from it at the controller to see what your working with first peace out
I'll look in your other videos, but I found this one because I just turned my water on to the sprinklers, and one zone came on, and the sprinkler box was at to off. No zone should be running. I turned the water to the yard off, and am now researching what to do. If you have ideas, id love it!
For those wondering: Yes, you will need to connect those solenoid valve wires from the new actuators to a control panel, which requires a regular GFCI plug.
M name is Derek, and I am a man that needed directions!🙂After viewing your tutorial, I went straight to analyzing the zone valve, because the cover to the valve was loose to start off with, After cleaning the dirty gunk out, and tightening the cover, it worked perfectly, and I am stoked! Thanks much for the tutorial.
This is a good video. Thanks. You should probably put a little clip of the station successfully turning on after you did this. Usually when I do stuff like this I'll go flip the switch and nothing happens. 😂
Thank you soooo much for making this video! Our power went out today and when it came back on one of the zones turned on and won't turn off. Unfortunately for me, my husband is at work and it is 36 degrees, windy and wet. Your video has given me the confidence to fix this issue by myself.
Hi Nat Awesome video! I have a zone for the flowerbeds that won't turn off. Long story,, but I want to keep that zone shut. If I cut the wires to the solenoid, will that valve stay shut? Thanks a ton and hope you would respond to this. Jay. 🙏
