****o all. I am new here, but love to learn from forums. I recently bought a home in Leesburg, Florida that has a 4 zone sprinkler system. We do not live there yet, but will live there full time in 3 years. Now, we just visit there about 4 times a year.
I have one valve that looks like it is leaking a bit. I'll try to post a picture here of it.
I would like to fix it myself. I do not know too much about sprinkler systems, but have read a bit about them. I am no novice to building and fixing things......I built my own house here in western NY, but I'm not too used to "southern building". I'm used to basements, 42" frostlines, etc,etc. Hardly anyone has sprinkler systems here in NY state.
Anyway, here is a picture of what I have.......
They are richdel 1" valves. They look easy enough.....just cut the plastic pipe, replace the valve, and reglue new fittings to the pipe with some couplings, allowing enough pipe for future fixes.......then re-wire the low voltage wiring.
I just do not know where to get these valves, and if I should just try to fix the one leak, or replace all the valves. The sprinkler system seems to be working fine, but that one has a small drip, resulting in a soggy area right around that area.
I will be down there again in December, and would like to fix it then, if it could wait. Also, does it look like it is up to code? Is it anti syphon? Thank you in advance for your kind help.
Respectfully, Frank D.
