Great vid, super detail, I had no idea there was a filter down in there, tysm!!

I could not understand this video. Use of the word ‘it’s does not help. I cannot see the top of the head and what was being done. Having a camera behind the instructor as if I was working on the device would also help. 😢

Would it be proper to dig a hole under the automatic drain, maybe approx 2 feet deep and fill it with gravel?

@thesprinklerchannel13 сағат бұрын

Definitely a great option

@thesprinklerchannel13 сағат бұрын

Probably doesn’t need to be very deep since drip is slow

@fredsmith632423 сағат бұрын

"angle of spread", not "radius"

So since they are fixed for the left, how would you adjust it if the sprinkler head is too far left?

yay! this resolved an open sprinkler issue with a new valve and solenoid. Crazy, must have been some debris or bad assembly, but it is working correctly now. Vendors blaming someone's controller should take note that it could be their valve. 😃

Now a small leak at base of solenoid when any zone is on... after putting on a new solenoid snug. The old one was dead for the zone. But i dont know if the diaphram of valve could also be bad. I put the solenoid in tight.

@thesprinklerchannel2 күн бұрын

Make sure the rubber o-ring that goes on the tip of the solenoid is on before screwing into valve. Also that the valve port is completely cleaned of any debris or granulars of dirt

@DL-ej8kgКүн бұрын

Thanks for the follow up. I used a flathead and gave it one more good turn. That seemed to do it for the leak. All is working but strangely the solenoid doesnt test manually with counter clockwise turn or bleed screw but it works with controller as i need it do.

I have water leaking slowly out of the top of my Rainbird 3500.. and I watched your other video about slope issues and I think that is my problem. Can I use a check valve in my 3500 like you did on the Hunter?

@thesprinklerchannel5 күн бұрын

Those check valves are only for pop up heads. Rotor heads typically have them built in but only will do a max of something like 7 elevation drop. The spring or seal on it might be getting work out and replacing it might solve the issue. You could just unscrew it and screw new one into existing body for easiest swap out.

@1jeffr6 күн бұрын

Newbe question: The sprinkler head doesn't look like it has a lot of surface area to help it stay put in the ground. Are there collars of other devices to put around the sprinkler head assy to keep it in place? How about pouring a little concrete around the bottom of the base to help it stay in place?

@thesprinklerchannel6 күн бұрын

If this sprinkler head is installed correctly with top of head flush with ground and soil compacted that will be sufficient.

Great video if you only have one sprinkler. You wasted half of your video talking about how to snip and cut the jacket off of the wire instead of showing how to connect multiple sprinklers. You also don't mention which of the two solenoid wires to connect to the common wire or if it makes any difference, which some will be wondering.

@thesprinklerchannel6 күн бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. Either wire, doesn’t matter, same set up for each valve with one of each valve all sharing / being connected to common wire. Time for an updated video:)

My sprinkler wires look like Chinese noodles, and are faded to the point that I cannot tell their colors. I am unable to insert new wiring into the plastic conduit/pipe. I am thinking of cutting off a portion of the end of the wires near the stations, and setting up a plastic housing junction box, where I would join them with new wiring. Is this feasible to do?

@thesprinklerchannel9 күн бұрын

Honestly, difficult to say without seeing. If there is space and enough length of wires then it seems like it would be.

@thesprinklerchannel11 күн бұрын

Difficult issue without creating a different issue. No great solutions. You can try raising it out of the ground if that would work and fix it to a t post. With pop up heads there are taller heads that can pop up over height of small shrubs but don’t know of anything with rotor heads.

@canonman22311 күн бұрын

@@thesprinklerchannel could I switch it out with a tall pop-up head? That is, disconnect it from the line and replace it with a standard 8 inch pop-up head.? or can you have pop up heads on the same loop as rotary heads?

Yeah well my problem is after the google fiber trenching crews got done near my mailbox, my sprinkler head "start" point is pointing directly into my driveway and for the next 130 or so degrees rotation to the right is fanning out onto the driveway/street. I guess there's no other choice but to dig it back out and reposition it?

Sadly these heads don’t have a shutoff option. Only way to cap is to removed head and cap at inlet on hose/pipe leading to head inlet
