    Great! And I especially enjoy the profanity. You and I talk in a similar way.

    Great job, finally a real world fix. Thanks for the details. I loved the hearing pleasure in a job well done after 9:40.

    Great! I have a leaking valve and I removed it and and checked for debris, cleaned them out and replaced the parts, Now when I turn on the valve there is a noice that the other valve don't have. Any ideas what the issue could be? Thanks.

    question - how would you properly flush a valve in a valve box without filling valve box w water prior to changing the diaphragm - I noticed in your video it is not in a valve box

      That is a good question I’ll have to do a little research on that

    How did you get sand out of the screw holes? That is my problem right now. I really dont want to replace the valve

    I replaced a leaking Rainbird diaphragm with a new valve from rainbird and that one leaks as well, my lawn is a swamp on one side of the yard. Any ideas on how to fix a new rainbird sprinkler valve?

      Turn everything off and on again water and electric then try should top leaking

      try reseating the diagram. Run an "on off" on your solenoid/vavle. Check your solenoid with a 9v battery. It should click if it is working.

    Tighten the screws in a crisscross / star pattern or you might create a valve body leak.

    What was the model number of the valve you were working on?

  • @rsaathoff
    @rsaathoff 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    sometimes you have to put a little electricity to the solenoid for the plunger to activate and close.

    I have a row of pop ups still watering, I put a new diaphragm and water shoot out where you tighten screws

    • @TomLeeman

      That happened to me also and I took it off and made sure it was on right and sealed and the leak stopped

      @@asiasmaster sometimes people sinck a screw through that diaphragm. I like the Rain Bird PEBs better but they're 3 times the cost. Hunter makes a valve and the screws don't go through the diaphragm that is the the equivalent of Rain Bird 100 DVF.

    Really? You're going to film 5 minutes removing screws and then 5 minutes tightening them? OK...I'm exaggerating. I do appreciate the tips though. Thanks.

    Instruction was good but I'm tired of hearing people use the f-bomb and other other references that seem to be prevalent to fill in sentences. I'm not a prude but it wasn't necessary and other vocabulary could have been used
