I've got 3 valves in manifold that sprinkle 3 areas in my backyard. The left and right valves work quietly. The middle valve makes an incredible amount of noise and seems to vibrate all of the pipes in the house!
Here's an image of the manifold
I've tried to fix the middle valve, but haven't figured it out yet:1) I checked for crud inside the middle sprinkler. Couldn't find anything
2) I replaced the solenoid, thinking that maybe it was problematic. No change
3) I swapped the whole top units of the left valve and the middle valve and the left valve was still quiet and the middle valve still noise.
So, I've got to assume it's lower down in the middle valve. I'm kind of assuming I need to replace the whole manifold... but wanted to see if any of the experts in this forum had any good ideas.Thank you very much in advance!
