Thank-you for this 5 minute fix video! It's the most awesome video out there. Clear and concise❤ 100 stars!💫

I had to replace eight Sprinkler Head today and was very glad I saw your video. The method of using water to create a nice tube to pull the old sprinkler out and slide the new one in WORKED GREAT! Saved a lot of time and digging. Thank you.

Your the best, Your home tips from snow blower to sprinklers is so HELPFUL. Thank you much approach, your great content.

This is the video that I needed. I literally dug up some of my sprinkler heads last week to replace them. Definitely following these instructions for the remaining heads. Thanks!

This is by far THE BEST ADVICE. Follow this guys directions. Works very well.

I actually used your method today to replace the sprinkler head and it was about five minutes worth of work. The idea of water around the dirt one had came out the other one slid right in tightened up I just had to adjust it. Thank you so much

Great tip about pouring water in the hole before removing the head!

One of the best "how to" videos I have seen! Well done.

Wow, that was easy. Thank you for explaining and demonstrating that.

Super good instructions. Easy to understand and follow. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for this video, very well done. I screwed the adjustment screw up all the out of the head of mine and water was just gushing out. I just needed an easy DIY video to replace it tomorrow

I was searching how to adjust sprinklers about 2 days. Only your vid make it right. Thanks!

Much simpler than the way I've been doing it. I'll give it a try (and I even have a Hori Hori). Thanks

I live in Florida and the ground is mostly sand. That was a great idea of pouring water around the sprinkler. Thanks!

A couple of things I noticed while watching the video: 1) Aligning the right edge. Some heads say to align the left edge. The way you do it is the same, just read the instructions on the replacement head to know which edge to line up. Once this is done, turn the internal adjustment screw to set the other edge while the sprinkler is running. 2) The front adjustment screw doesn't change the flow. The nozzle size does that. The adjustment screw changes the distance that the stream shoots out of the nozzle, not the rate of water flow.

Thanks for the info. I had 6 heads to replace and it took me 40 minutes to dig out the first one. I called it a day as my was aching when I came across your video. The next day I gave it a go as per your instructions and hey presto all 5 remaining changed in 40 minutes.😊

Fantastic video!! Straight forward and no wasted time. Thanks!!

FANTASTIC video, very professionally done. Thank you, very much appreciated, God bless !

Two times now, a couple years apart, a few of my sprinkler heads were weak and dribbling. I thought I should change the heads but the sprinkler repair guy showed me that it was big tree roots squeezing the lines that feed that particular zone. He dug down, found the root squeeze, cut the roots, or went around them with new line. Now the heads have full pressure and work great.

I recommend digging out all of the way to the fitting. Most leaks aren’t caused by the sprinkler head itself but instead are caused by a leak in the funny pipe. You also don’t want any dirt at all to get in the lines so this is just asking for trouble.

I’ve found that for the Hunter sprinkler in the video, I can just unscrew the mechanism from the hallow case and skip the rest of the instructions. Leaving the case in place helps prevent soil from entering.

Here is a much faster, and safer way to replace a failed sprinkler. On the new sprinkler, unscrew the large part of the replacement sprinkler head from the body, exposing the internal spring and gearing and remove from the body, do the same to the old sprinkler in the ground. Now take the new internal part and insert it in the body that is in the ground and tighten and adjust. Should take less than 5 minutes. This way there is no digging, no chance of collapse of the hole. Then discard the old interior guts.

Buddy, absolutely a great video. wows

Might work just fine if sprinkler head is still slightly above or at ground level, but over the years many of mine have become buried up to two inches below lawn level even though the head still pops up. When I have had to replace a head, I have to locate it (hard to do when it's below lawn level) and completely dig it out in order to put a longer riser in to raise the new head to lawn level again. Rain Bird says to use Teflon tape, too.

Yes because if it is not secure when you turn the water on the fucking sprinkler head will shoot off like a bottle rocket!

I always dig up the sprinkler head because I’ve found so many sprinklers with kinked or stripped threads below ground. If I’m fixing a sprinkler, I inspect everything.

Beautiful, easy way. I tried to change one, not a problem but got the wrong size for the fitting. And, there was water inside, now mud. How do you know what size sprinkler head?

Just changed a pgp head tonight. It wasn’t popping up and burned the grass around it. Unfortunately the head was too low and spent about an hour digging it out and then raised it a couple inches. I have several spread heads that sunk, so will be looking for a riser kit. The pgp heads are hot right now, went to 4 Home Depot’s and couldn’t find any. Will try your trick the next time.

When you turn the sprinklerhead to put it on you will want to start by turning it very slowly backwards until you feel or hear a kind of click. This is the threads lining up. This will prevent crossthreading which will cause leaks or failures and also make it very difficult to remove if you hit it with your lawnmower again.
