Quoted from "Mitchgo" There CAN be more then one valve to a zone, depending on how it's wired. But not common A lot of times I see septic tank systems use the round 6" pits as a lid for the blow outs.. So this may be what your talking about OK, try not to laugh. Scentricon System-- I was looking at termite baits LOL!
One more question, I was told those little green round covers are usually valves. Seems like there are one every 8-10 feet along the buildings, yet the timer only have 11 zone. Why would that be if there should be only one valve per zone. I'm a little confused.
Thank you very much Todd. You just confirmed what I already figured. Glad I didn't agreed to the work yet. It's not an all out refurbishment of the zone. Just to get it working again replacing the valves. I just wanted to give him a fair professional deal and avoid being taken. I'm a president of a condo association. I would have given him $600-800 for the job but not $1800. Thanks again.
Ok thanks for the reply. An off topic followup: $1800 repair cost for 4 zones, sound reasonable to you, seems really high to me. I'm in FL
I'm having a pro repairing 4 zones that are not working. Possibly replacing the electric valves. My question is, there should be only one valve per zone, is this correct. Are there exception or reason to have more than one valve per zone. I only know the basic of sprinkler system as you can tell by my question. Thanks for any answer.
