thanks to you, watching your video i was be able to rapair master valve in my sprinkler system many thanks saved lots of money my sprinkler is working again
I was able to loosen the nuts with my hand. Thanks for this helpful video. I really thought I was going to spend a day having to dig up the manifold and replace individual valves.
This is insanely useful. I wish I'd seen that instead of hiring some sketchy ass guy to replace all my valves. At least the valves are new, but a subset in their own box are misbehaving. This tells me the monkeying around with it didn't damage it. (The solenoids are in a box in the house. I gave up for the day when the sun went down, LOL)
what is the white plastic part with an O ring and the tread called? He just said O-Ring, but it is way more than an O Ring... Mine is broken and I just figured it out today why my water pump keeps on pumping despite the solenoid working properly, to the point where the holding tank overflows and I have to unplug it... Annoying in the middle of the night... But the plastic part I am looking for is broken, ripped apart, da plastic and inside a pressurised environment... Time bomb...
@3:07 can you do a video on the construction of the custom built bonnet ring removal tool? Please. Using that tool would be considerably easier than "digging up" the valve box.
thanks alot! perfect information on taking them apart and replacing the parts. so ive done this two times now and my valve is still leaking at the sprinkler! matter of fact if any other zone goes on this one just runs continuously! ive even disconnected all the wires to it and it still leaks and when any other zone goes on it comes on also!! im 100% positive its not electrical, becasue like i said i have disconnected all the two power lines going to the solenoid. i have replaced all the internal parts including the solenoid 2 times now, any advice would be great, thanks.
@@irrigationtipstricks7797 ok thank you sir i will try again, and believe this or not it is on the highest part of the our hill / lawn!!!!! like 30 feet higher than the lowest couple sets of valves! i have completely taken both wires off and all new guts in and when any other valve activates this one still goes off too! this system has been in place 9 years and never any problems till this year. we are on a well and have a seperate pump just for irrigation.
Wow. By chance your video popped up. I've been looking for this system. Can you tell me what the "ON OFF" button is for and what it is used for? I think mine needs cleaned out and your easy instructions are fabulous! But wondering about the switch, it won't budge. Thanks
@@irrigationtipstricks7797 Ok.. Thank you. I wanted to manually bleed the valve in the event of some blockage. I have a couple of sprinkler heads seeping and wondered if that might be the issue. Since all the heads on that circuit aren't seeping, possibly it is just head issues, and not the valve at all.
For anyone that may come across this: 1. The housing (bottom) could be warped, you'll need to cut and glue on a new valve 2. You still have debris in the valve 3. Valve wasn't rebuilt correctly
@@irrigationtipstricks7797 OH im well aware, I do irrigation out in the villages , FL. We're very high tech out in the new areas with maxicom and alot is moving to decoder based systems. Little flashbacks to equiptment like this reminds me of when I started doing this. Shit gets so much more complicated than the average Joe realizes. Like measuring plant transprecipitation properties during watering restrictions lol... gets fun as I'm sure you know.

Hey great video, Can we get instructions for the removal tool?
Didn't once mention the black on off valve and what position it should be on.

My replacement (JARTOP ORBIT) didn't come with a manual bleed assembly, so I surmise that one is not necessary, correct?

Has anyone had issues with the bleed screw dripping? How did you fix it?

@@irrigationtipstricks7797 Awesome. Thank you very much.
I did this and it still stays running???
For anyone that may come across this:
1. The housing (bottom) could be warped, you'll need to cut and glue on a new valve
2. You still have debris in the valve
3. Valve wasn't rebuilt correctly
Thank you!!!
Do you have any idea where the divider can be purchased? And what is the most common cause of leaking after replacement of diaphragm and tighten in?
@@irrigationtipstricks7797 thank you so much for your valuable advice.
I did all of that just like you said and still I have a drip
Does anyone have a suggestion
Who is Fred?
I wonder how many people did this and lost the plunger with the non captured solenoids 😅😭
