Upon disassembly, one of the check valves snapped or was snapped and one of the springs broke or was broke. Where can I get the parts for the unit? All of the stores have the pvb units but I don't think it will work with this unit, am I wrong? I can't imagine that the little springs and plastic pieces can cost that much so I would just like to replace the inards of the unit. Also what is used to seal the unit when putting it back together? I am going to order another unit in the meantime to have...
Ok, I blew out my lines last year and the Febco 3/4" Reduced Pressure Assembly was spewing air out of the bottom relief valve(along with blowing out the lines). This year when I hooked it back up all it does is let the water coming through it clear out the bottom relief valve. Aside from buying a new unit, how can I fix it or is there something else that I need to do to "pressurize the unit"?
Yeah I can see that if the MV is on at both controllers by accident you could theoritically get a "pop" on one of the controllers from the additional amprage (or voltage) whoah it has been 10 years since my one circuits class in college so I don't remember. I'll probably end up buying a 16 valve controller but I just wanted to get away cheap...
I have a ton of extra wires in the ground, about 7-8 extra in the group for each of the front and back yard so it isn't the wires that are a problem it is the total zones of the controller and the stupid controllers ballon in price for 16 or 20 zone controllers. Really the only wires that are wired into both controllers are the MV (because obviously it has to go on for both the front and back yards) and the common because if the master is in the back and you want to water the front then the comm...
Background: Rain bird ESP Modular controller maxed out at 13 zones Master valve wireless rain sensor (waste of money go with the wired) Adding 2+ more zones I guess my question is can I add another ESP controller for about $80.00 which is also expandable without breaking the bank for another $300.00 for a 16 or 20 zone controller? I know that I will have to not conflict the zone times and days on the different controllers but my question is how woudl I wire it up? I know that I will have to do t...
