I checked the flow control - fine No water splashes out upon shut off. I will try to ensure poppet is properly centreed, otherwise I guess I will have to expose to line and check for leaks.
Bad news! I replaced all 3 poppets and valve cover. Now water flows in a steady spray at zones 1 and 2. Zone 3 - it still gushes out. Any ideas? Mike
Thanks to all of you for your advice/expertise. I will get some new poppets and will let you know. Thanks again!
Thanks for the quick reply. They are Richdell 713AP and about 19 years old. I switched the diaphram with another zone and there was no change to either, that's why i believe it's not the diaphram. Is there anything else could try? Mike
Hi, I have 3 zones in my garden. Zones 1 and 2 were working fine, but when I turned on zone 3, the sprinklers work fine but water is also gushing out from under the cap on the anti siphon valve. I have swapped the diaphram with zone 1 and the plunger and there is no change to zone 1 or 3. Throughout all this, zone 2 has now started doing the same thing. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Mike
