Don't replace the valve until you take the valve apart and check if the diaphragm is damaged or has a film on it making it not being able to close. Also check if the solenoid is loose and possibly the bleeder screw is slightly open.
I have 2 zones that have poor pressure. When I open them manually with the bleeder they still have low pressure. I dont believe that it's a root pinching the line as I dont hear any pinches anywhere in my yard. Thoughts of what may be causing this?? You say to replace the valve in this video. How about just replace the diaphram and the solenoid?
take the valve apart and get the piece of debris out, dont change the valve, thats a possible monumental pain in the butt, unless buying even more expensive repair pvc fittings.
Was very helpful in troubleshooting my sprinkler system. Thank you!
Thank you. Problem was on zone wire 1. Rather than keep pulling my hair out. Had an empty zone 6 slot open. Works great!
What if you can’t get any voltage on any zones when put to manual ALL?

Your super handsome!

Or buy a bunch of the same valves. So when one acts up all you have to do is change the solenoid and not the hardware.
