ONE STARTTIME!🤪

Nice product!❤🎉

Where are you located at?

The best demonstration I've seen. Thanks!

Ok fonally a basic video i have these valves, slow leak wont shut off if i turn to right all the way

I wonder how often the homeowner is watering and thus,, how often the intake filter needs to be cleaned before it chokes the pump.

Thank you so much. I'm about to have a panic attack after trying to get my sprinklers to run at the right time 😂I messed up exactly when you said most people mess up😅

Thank you . I am going to see if you have a video that teaches how to solve the problem.

Hi thanks for posting this video! My motor is pulling water, the sprinklers come up and water comes out for about 10 to 20 seconds, then the motor shuts down. What do you think the problem might be?

Thank you - this video had the answer that I was looking for - that you only need one start time! Thanks again.

Best video on this. You told me what not to do! Thanks

Nice. Have the system and it works well. Only issue is the barrel. The plastic becomes very brittle after being exposed to the sun. Could another barrel be used? One made of a stronger plastic?

Thanks man saved me a bunch of time on fixing my pump!

Great video

lol i changed it!!!

So if I am not hearing a clicking of the pump, it isn’t working?

Great video and after watching several, came close to answering question with stepdown 2" to 1 1/5". Getting ready to replace my pump after 20 years service as not in housing and rust on motor body, so time is limited - but they have changed. My 1 1/5 HP Craftsman had 1 1/2 intake and outlet, and has served me well with well intake line 1 1/4, and outlet pump to valves also 1 1/4, and hold 35 PSI after all these years and one major problem that surprised didn't burn out the motor. Had a valve go bad so pump would pump for that zone but nowhere to go, so impeller churned the same water making it super hot and I discovered huge bulge in PVC which I replaced and re-primed. In my research, the Everbilt and Craftsman may be the same pump as their welldrop/PSI/GPM for both 1 1/2 and 2 HP are the only pumps today that exactly match the same specs in the 20 y/o Craftsman manual. The big thing that give me a concern is the now 2" inlet, is that too big a stepdown, and with the pump expecting a 2" supply, the impact on PSI for the system. Assume no changes, but before changing, I am not going to re-trench for the valves, but it is only about 5" to the wellhead, so may follow the 1 1/4 intake line. As I recall from 20 years ago, there were 2 well drops joined at a T, and if so, may replace the T to accommodate 1 1/4 from the 2 drops, and output either 1 1/2 or 2 to the pump. Any advantage to upgrade for 1 1/2HP to 2HP and potentially increase the PSI and decreasing zone run time?

I grew up in the trade with my father who subcontracts doing installs on new houses. Much has changed since then. Ive also been liscensed in the state of Texas. Ive never met anyone with more knowledge and or experience. I have pulled permits and designed systems with pro contractor. Right now i work for a company doing commercial repairs. All that to say, everyone has thier way of doing things but many times there is a RIGHT way to do a repair or install. Most of it has to do with overall efficiency.

Motivation Bro!!!!

Nicely done and great "How To"!! Thank you for your time to put this together.

Thanks for the helpful vid. I'm having a rough time determining if my valves are Toro or Irritrol to buy the right parts since the jar top styles look so similar to me. Any advice?

I had been procrastinating to fix my sprinkler system, thanks to you my grass is getting green again. I appreciate the video.

how do you connect the small motor on rust tank in coordination with pump start relay and Rain Bird timer?

ive been doing irrigation a total of 10 plus years. i live in fla and need to find out how to take this test. did you purchase books on line?

Do you have a video that describes how to troubleshoot our irrigation issue? When we turned our sprinklers on this spring, we would get water for a few minutes then the pump would warm up and shut off. We eventually replaced the entire pump. Sprinklers will now water for (at most) 10 minutes then stop. We hope you have a video that can help us troubleshoot issues other than the pump. Thank you! :)

We know our pump is working (it's brand new) but it will get warm and turn off after only a few minutes. Do you have any videos to show us how to troubleshoot water issues or something other than the pump? Thank you.

Also don’t forget that 9v

That looks really good man. Nice work!

Wow very useful Thank you man I just learned something new and useful, God bless you.

Don’t forget to like and subscribe guys! Thanks for your support!

Like and subscribe!

Thanks for making this video!

At 1:36 it looks like there might be a hole in the bottom of the 3/4” sprinkler. 🫢 Where can I get the 1/2” blue barb fittings? I’ve never seen them in blue. So pretty. I bet they stand out making them easier to see when digging around a head. Thanks for the great tips!

Nicely done. What a beautiful yard and fence.

I’ve gone through 2 rain sensors in 2 years. The cork and spring types don’t last long then cause your system to never turn on. I upgraded to a smart wifi timer with zipcode rain delays and never have to worry about the rain sensor again. With that said, when rain sensors do work they work very well and are a mandatory addition when under water restrictions, especially for California who seem to have perpetual water restrictions.

Unusual timer. Seems the most popular is Rachio, Orbit B-Hyve, Hunter, and Rainbird. What were the cool features about this one that made you want to try it? The B-Hyve and Rachio have the same features but Orbit has practically zero support. Rachio has good forum support. These are thingsyou don’t know until you purchase them and need support.

Can you hook it up to suction line so it cleans out rust and calcium in the bottle type filter too? That could be a nice benefit to adding it below the filter on the suction line?

I like the concrete donuts. Moved into a house and the previous homeowner left an irrigation map. But I ended up finding about 7 heads that were not on the map and covered over by grass. The donuts at least made me less concerned about digging and locating sprinkler heads.

I am just now starting to watch the first video of yours ive seen. You just seem genuine to me

How to properly ground and protect against lightning strikes in a how to video would be nice.

Ohh that’s cool! Didn’t know that was possible. I’ve been putting down fertilizer with a scotts spreader. I’d love to learn more about this!

Been binge watching some of your videos they're great! Except going back 3 years you can hear the fire alarm beeping in the background. How can you live with that? It's supposed to be annoying on purpose to get you to change it. Get you a 9V battery, a ladder if needed, and change that darn fire alarm battery! It's not supposed to beep and you're not supposed to just "live with it". If you want one way to improve your videos that's definitely a highly underrated way to. People hear that beep in your voice overs and immediately think "too lazy to change the battery on a fire alarm why would i want someone like that working on my house"... Some people will stop watching a video the first time they hear that beep. Seriously. God bless you, just trying to help because I think you are pretty amazing at what you do and can benefit others to learn from.

I don't have a pressure gauge or blow off valve on my irrigation pump. The pressure gauge would be nice to have and obvious purpose. I need to do some research on what a blow off valve is and why it's needed. When mentioning other videos use youtube's editor to insert a v-card so the video you're referencing shows up as a clickable preview in the top right corner of the video. It will be in your youtube studio editor as "cards".

Holy cow that's a lot of sprinklers at full pressure. What kind of well and pump does something like that need?

I've seen those slip fittings in a couple other videos but not many. Can you make a video where you show using it in a repair? I'd be interested in hearing more about them. As a homeowner, digging, piping, priming, etc.. can be a little intimidating. For you it's a career and with experience everything seems easy. To a homeowner who's never laid a single irrigation pipe It seems like a lot to get the cut lengths just right etc.. An adjustable fitting like that is less intimidating if you screw up the cut length.

Geez how they gonna run over someone's valve box when it's clearly visible with no sod around it? Did the sod company have to pay for the damage? Nice new manifold though. Hey how you gonna let the controller wires dangle out of the conduit under the clock like that at 1:10? That bit could have been improved.

Your installs look more professional than a lot of "professional" hacks I've seen on youtube. You're the real deal, with real experience, and not just BS'ing your way through videos where you talk more than you work. Heck yeah I'll watch more. Keep the content coming.

Subscribed because one of your videos really helped. Moved into a house that has an irrigation system. Learning how to operate and maintain it is a journey in itself. I appreciate your advice. Keep making content with tips and tricks. I was uhhh just replacing heads at random with no sense of what my system is capable of in GPM or what heads to use. It working 10 times better now that I cleaned the filter (that I didn't know existed until watching one of your videos).

I'm in Central FL and I have that same filter thing on my main suction line. It's got a STARITE DS3-HF 1.5HP jet pump straight into the ground for irrigation only. Uses a hunter pump start relay PSR22 and Orbit B-Hyve controller. Was getting random low pressure issues. Had an irrigation guy come out and he changed all the solenoids, inspected the 3 zone valves, etc... but couldn't figure out the random pressure issue. I never realized I was getting about 1/4 normal pressure. Sometimes just a trickle with no pressure to pop the heads up, and/or a slow bleed down from half pressure to no pressure after about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It was randomly bizarre behavior. The filter I have is about 1/2 the size as the one you show in this video. They must come in different sizes. I took out the filter and it was completely gunked up, couldn't even see the screen. It had some hard calcification on the clear plastic wall I couldn't get off. I have one of those old time brass straight nozzle on my garden hose, put it right inside the filter and blew it clean from the inside out. It didn't damage the screen material thankfully. I now have full pressure like I've never seen since I moved in. My 32SA rotor heads went from throwing 5 feet (when they worked) to throwing 20 feet! I had to go around and adjust every head again and this time I was happy to do it. This video 100% helped! God Bless You! Cheers! 🍻

You need to replace the battery in your smoke detector!
