Sprinkler Repair Quick and Easy 

Nice! I like to run the sprinkler for a bit with out the head if doing a replacement. This way it clears out the pipe which may have dirt in it from the removal.

good to hear that, sir can you tell me what is the name of the sprinkler this man used in the video, also what what you suggest i should use in a small lawn of 20 ft x 10 ft

I am 65. So thank you for your comments. I just got a quote of $1000 to replace 10 heads. Nope I’ll try this first.

@@mayankgulati6557 The brand is Hunter. I have the same ones.

That is a great tip!

Very good tip

Good suggestion. My neighbor has done this and the install was poorly done and looks lousy. No consideration to aesthetics. Most sleeves are sticking up all cockeyed and crooked no use of gravel. I’m sure there is a way to make it look more professional. Lol.

@@stevelopez372use black pvc, which is sometimes available for sewer use.

THAT IS A GOOD IDEA... especially where the ones that get broken also if you ever cap one sprinkler off always put a coin or maybe a metal washer... just so you will be able to find it... always have sprinkler people give you a sprinkler layout or take pictures. its not fun trying to find them 10 years later.

I see this at work(residents) sometimes. its a little extra effort for extra survivability. set the pvc right though or it looks janky.

Would you mind sharing the name or a link? I've been wanting to find one and haven't had good luck

Why do single mothers always have to let everyone know that they are a single mother?

Clark- clearly you are (1) CLUELESS and (2) disrespectful! She is a single mother, ffs!!! Mothering job is 24/7- but, for your braincells, let's call it her FIRST FULL-TIME JOB that sometimes leave many a sleepless nights as well. Workforce job (PAID) would be HER SECOND FULL-TIME JOB. Her household upkeep, laundry, plus grocery shop & prep would be HER THIRD FULL-TIME JOB. Emergencies or issues such as addressed in this video aren't common events that allow a SINGLE mother the time or financial resources to handle so she must learn to do what she can on her own! Already impacted time & emotionally with THREE full-time jobs but with only ONE paying job...it is perfectly acceptable, even honorable to mention "single mom." I expect all helpful-channels feel a deeper satisfaction they helped an already OVERWORKED woman. All I can say to YOU (commenter) is "WOW!" (smh...in disgust!)

​@@k2mm bc we do what u can't.

@@Realjenestate you mean make proper life decisions?

@@k2mm I am only accountable for my decisions not that of others. We all answer one day for every word we speak. There is final judgement.

Jon, if I may I had a few quick questions - 1) I have an adjustable spray head in the same exact spot as shown in the video - I want to water the thin grassy strip across the sidewalk and adjacent to the road - should I replace the stationary spray with something else or perhaps change out one of the other heads in the middle of the front lawn to a rotor and let it "arc" over the sidewalk onto the strip? I don't have any piping in the strip areas to put a sprinkler. 2) Assuming like-for-like pop-up height, GPM nozzle, etc. can we interchange sprinkler brands? I think all of mine are Hunter but I have seen videos were people like Rain Bird better. My controller is a Hunter Pro-C. And 3) how do we determine the PSI of our irrigation system easily (and where would I do it?) I am fairly handy with tools, etc. Thank you in advance.

I applaud you, as some women are just scared to try, but you seem the 'go-getter', go for you!

4 ft pop-up?! Are you watering a football field?

That's what I use also.

Where to get it?

@@jayasmrmore3687 Bunnings, Amazon, eBay and more

I made some using PVC pipe and or 4" & 6" Corrugated Drain Pipe. If you don't want to buy, check some construction dumpsters.

It all breaks down by GPM from the water supply. A 1" water supply with a 1HP well can sufficiently run up to 14 spray heads. Been doing irrigation for over 20 years.

Secondary water systems need a lot more work. Good luck 👍🏻

Turn on water with cap off. Water will flush rocks out

@@briankennedy5578 thank you for responding.

Sprinkler heads that are properly installed and are well taken care of will last years and years too come. The brass heads might of lasted long but came with their own problems when it came to servicing them. when it came to calcium build up and the galvanized fitting fusing with the PVC fittings making it sometimes impossible to replaced was very expensive. Been doing this for over 15 years and i went through the transition and had my fair share of brass sprinkler heads needing replacement. I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy.

Looks for a Toro with a Honda motor, I have the Honda lawnmower with the plastic deck, so not cheap.
