1996 Ditchwitch 255sx pipe puller and boring setup

Unfortunately this system was abandoned after the leak. 2 ways to fix this. One to find both ends and install a bit small size pipe inside the damaged one. Or 2: bore under and just install a new pipe. I have that video on my channel if you’re interested.

@@kaselyncalirn6532 I have a wholesaler. But most big box stores have them. Just make sure it’s Febco brand

@ Thank you

Just showing a 12 inch pop up sprayer that was installed with the feed line on the side and if you don’t install a self drain on the bottom water gets trapped and freezes of you don’t press down to get all the leftover water. Full. Video of winterizing on my page.

Same issue here!

The repair kit was cracked and damaged. Wasn’t winterized. Could be a bad one you got or the air is not pushing the kit up. Not enough pressure too. You can try to lift it up with your fingers while air is flowing through. Or close the handle after the repair kit to build up pressure in the pvb.

Vibration from the backflow and the air flowing through. Probably little loose. I’ve had customers come out and say they hear a humming noise while I’m winterizing.

4:32 I’m surprised these didn’t freeze already

I’m in the Macomb/Oakland county area. We haven’t had rain in two weeks. Everybody was over their system until this drought. And now it’s almost closing season.

@@ChrisBaccus-l2u you’re welcome glad it worked out for you. Thanks for watching and the support.

I’m glad the video helped you out. You’re welcome. lol that’s funny, same here. Sometimes the grass falls apart.

Hello. Sorry it’s tight squeeze. But yeah for low pressure move the spring back a notch if still lags just release the spring. I use small screwdriver

Pinch claim tool for poly pipe

@@tonybahri do you know what brand and where to order that model?

@@Onelove313​​⁠ Oetiker or dawn kiwk tools. or big box stores has a brand called Apollo crimping tool for pinch clamps

@@tonybahri ty 🤙🏽

The top does come off. It’s just being held by two clips in the center. Sometimes you can use a garden hose or a shop vac and clean the inside

Thank you.

You’re welcome. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and the support

Here in Michigan we got mix of sandy soil and some clay.

Hello. So if it’s leaking only while the system is running you’ll have to replace that sprayer, if it’s leaking while the system is off, you have a bad valve.

​@tonybahri it leaks when it's off. I researched and it might be because of my sloped yard and this one is the lowest sprinkler head. So it drains thru it, I need to get a check valve installed. What you think?

That could be it too. Eventually it will stop. but it’s just draining what’s left in the pipe. They do make sprinklers with check valves that would help. Remember when install a check valve, might be another sprayer that would drain from also. A few times when I’ve installed a check valve I had to do two sprayers because the other sprayer started draining too after. If that makes sense

You’re welcome glad it helped. Thanks for watching

You're welcome! Thanks for the support

Thanks! Will do! Thanks for watching

You’re welcome thanks for watching. Appreciate the support.

Here in Michigan we have sand topsoil and clay. Some clay is really hard to dig when it’s dry.

Thanks for watching. I’ve also seen cable wire ran this way too

You’re welcome and thanks for the feedback and support

Sounds like it’s wear and tear. Needs to be replaced. 2 ways to replace. Dig out and replace or clean out the pot and remove guys and install new one

Also, I have installed one of these on a sprinkler spike that I can connect to a garden hose. You can take the guts out of one in the ground and use the housing on a spike to troubleshoot issues with the mechanism without having to get back down on the ground to reinstall it. Saves the back and knees.

Thanks for watching and the support. I usually change the whole thing. Customer paid for the whole sprinkler, I like to make them happy. But if it’s a tight squeeze or a lot of roots, I will just remove the guts. And it’s best to clean the pot before, and after removing the guts, makes it easier when installing the new one

I changed 3 different types of valves. Rain Bird, Irritrol, and Hunter. Most popular valves

Thank you, this was extremely helpful, exactly what I was looking for👍

@@TheDOOMBOY1 you’re welcome glad it worked out for you. Thanks for the support.

That’s a fair price. Parts Tools time and labor your about that price. Sometimes it’s in a bad spot or tight squeeze.

@@tonybahri the first guy never got back to us. A new one just quoted us $475. Still reasonable?

You’re welcome. Thanks for the support

Thanks for watching. You can cap/plug sprayers or lines that have other sprayers so when you winterize the water is mostly out of that zone.

You’re welcome. And thanks for watching

If it got chopped you’re most likely to dig it out and replacing it. I have video on that also.

Nice. You’re welcome. I’m glad I can help. Thanks for the support. Sounds like you did quite an upgrade on your system.

@@tonybahri it's been a ride but it's now up and going. The grass/fruit trees are happy. Totally worth it ! Ty!

The best thing for homeowner with sprinkler system is to know your system. Helps out when there is a problem or future work. Saves time and cost

You’re welcome, thanks for the support

You’re welcome. And thanks for the support

You can use the same one just turn the shut off valves the other way, but has to be taken apart for adjustments. I think most states require a permit or license plumber to install back flows but not for repairs.

Could be or maybe it’s clogged and no water is coming out for you to notice. If you have a rough idea on the area, you can poke around.

I have no idea where mine is buried. It's the only one on the side of the driveway. No wet spots and no hissing. I can't go around poking the entire yard. Any ideas?

@@Dark4estImagery probably clogged. Poke around or have someone by the controller turning it on and off and maybe you can hear it. I’ve had luck with that few times
