One zone won't turn off....another leaks!
Hi All:
I have 6 Zones (5 spray and 1 drip). Today I discovered that my drip system is still "dripping" when the valve is turned off. After reading some of the information in this forum it sounds like it could either have a bad Solenoid or Valve if I'm understanding correctly.
Also, while playing around with one of the Solenoid valves on one of my spray zones I found that you could manually turn on a zone by turning the Solenoid counter-clockwise. Unfortunately, after doing this, I tightened the Solenoid back into place and the zone will not turn off. This is one of my spray zones. Not the drip zone.
It seems that my drip problem has now turned into a second problem.
In the interim, I've turned off the water feeding my sprinkler system until I get this all sorted out.
FYI - My 5 spray zones are using Richdel 2600T valves. From what it sounds like Irritrol 2600 is the same thing. I can't see what type of valve is on the drip zone. It seems to be buried and only the solenoid is exposed.
Any assistance...MUCH APPRECIATED!
Thanks,
Wanabe
