I attempted to turn on my sprinkler system this spring and for somenreason, i was unsuccessful. The system has been running successfully for over 25 years. When I opened the valve I didn't hear the customary surge of water filling the pipe. If i press a rod into the brass quick connect, water sprays out. If I attempt to turn on a valve in the first manifold, there is a dripping of water, but there is no real volume or pressure. I check the water meter and the usage volume does not increase. Does...
I have a bunch of landscape circuits that have a watering radius in the 13 feet to 15 feet range, and I was wondering if anyone knew if it is better to reduce down and use the MP 2000 or to use the MP 1000 at their maximum range?
Quoted from "drpete" Just curious, why is this a problem? It is a problem because all of the water from the entire circuit floods the area where the lowest head is. It usually creates a large pool of water and the ground around the head stays very soggy for days. Then the circuit is turned back on and the cycle repeats. The area around the head, nothing grows because it is flooded.
I have a piece of property that is mostly flat, but in some places the elevation changes by a foot and in the worst case I have an 18" drop. The heads that are lower in these circuits drain all of the water from the circuit pipe and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the rainbird seal-a-matic heads? Do I have to replace all of the heads in a circuit for them to work correctly, or can I simply replace the lower heads in the circuit? Thanks in advance
