Thanks for the replies guys. I replaced the entire main valve and the system lives once again. I have a big sweetgum tree in the front yard with shallow roots going everywhere. I dug up the box that the main valve is in because i noticed the shutoff was leaking. I built a new assembly with schedule B and a new main valve and put it back together. When i went to reassemble it I noticed the line going to the system wasn't lining up. I dug back a little further to find a 8" diameter root pushing th...
bladerunner congrats wish i could figure my problems out

So should i start to diagnose the controller?
ok i opened the valve manually and still have no water to sprinklers. This sucks!!! One day it works perfectly now nothing. what do I check now? im stuck

I started investigating and found I had a main valve coming off the main water source. I figured it had to be a soleniod bad on the main valve because none of the systems worked. So I ordered a new valve and re...
