What I’m doing at the same time as I’m unscrewing the sprinkler is molding the dirt around it and making it slightly bigger as I’m turning it so the dirt doesn’t collapse and go into the pipe below also making the opening of the dirt a little wider because the new sprinkler is wider then the old one if you practice this method a few times you’ll seen it way faster verse digging it out
When you press enter after you’ve put your desired (1st) start time the(2nd) start mode will automatically pop up, enter your desired time , make sure you have a (PM) on the lower right side of the time placed
Am I missing something? How does the water adjust? I sat there and had to watch you use a plumbing wrench to unscrew the sprinkler head, which you just used your hands to screw back in, only to find that you didn't even cover the water. Boohoo
I would highly suggest, before you cut tree roots, especially of that size with small trees, to either learn what root your cutting out and or take a class so you do not kill an entire half of a tree, I say this from experience and most likely whatever major limb overhung that root is probably going to die.. if you live in a hot low humidity area/ high desert it will effect the tree. excellent vid for finding the leak I would have put a tarp down, to deter dirt clumps in the grass other than that great job.
I have an Orbit 6 zone controller I just installed on a GFCI circuit but I only have 5 zones on my sprinkler system. When it gets to zone 6 it trips the GFCI breaker. Do I need to install a jumper wire between 5 and 6 so the GFCI gets the correct feedback and prevent the tripping? Thanks for your time
Hello. My problem is the water will continue to leak from the top of the siphon valve cap. I replaced the siphon valve with a brand new balve cap from home Depot rainbird brand and slso tried ising 2 other used valve caps. What can you suggest? Thank you
1. Make sure that the solenoid is tight. If that doesn’t work, shut the main water off to the valve and take off top part of valve, turn water on them off quickly to flush it out and check top of valve you took off for any dirt and rinse it off good, put it back on and turn main water valve back on to see if that works…. If it doesn’t work then you have to replace the valve. If you have any further questions please let me know.
Hey, I seem to have a leak in bathroom floor or in the wall. But, we when I check my meter. Neither the Triangle or Red Arm moving. I see the water on my floor but I have no clue as to where it is coming. I have noticed that my back yard holds water after a heavy storm. What I want to ask. Is it possible that the rain water finding a way up into my foundation? I had both of my toilets check out. Both are sealed. My next move inside was to see if the shower plumbing might be leaking. It is not a heavy leak but it does get a little wet. I also thought I noticed a brown stain in the toilet next to the leak. I was wondering if that is a sign. Or just the substance in the water. Anyway, I'll take any advice for my next step.
Thanks for the video. For the low-voltage wire conduit coming in on bottom right hole in the timer box, did you do anything special (grommet or whatever) to seal the conduit to the box to keep water and bugs out? Mine currently just has pvc pipe conduit ending close to box, but not even touching the box, and just seems kind of cheesy to leave it that way.
Bro…you literally skipped the only part I have a question about! How did you make it all fit together? I saw you struggling to measure and get it all together- then you skip to show it done! What’s waste of my time!
Why did you cut the nipple between the regulator and valve? That was your first mistake. That’s what the coupler on the regulator is for. To separate it. Then get the regulator and valve with the same length. You would of saved yourself some work.😂
So far. I’ve looked at two RU-vid sites vis a vis setting up my timer. Both sites have been useless. The basic setups that have been shown are simple and easy to program. Beyond that no one seems to know or care. And listening to this guy will put you to sleep.
