sprinkler head continues to leak after many respects, I try to solve the problem.? Last summer (09) my neighbor who was on her roof and she said she noticed a puddle of water from our house. I went and checked many reviews around a water sprinkler heads and a second was also a lot of water but not much. These are the heads of poor drainage head. I called the guy who installed the system and he said that perhaps the diaphragm was dirty and I clean. I dug around and cleaned, the water will flow. I recalled, he said the valve could be bad if I replace the valve and check valves installed leak on these heads, guess what it will continue to leak. So I took the valve hunting and head of John Deere and ask them to give me new and I have to replace everything again, guess what. "I still have a" leak. I just stepped outside and there is a leak of water and it is February and the main valve of the city has been cut off since October and the water continues to flow. HELP please someone HELP ..
I would say two things ...
we get a head like a hunter I-20 which has a drain valve with a maximum of 10 'elevation change and is designed for areas of poor drainage. They can also be individually cut to allow ease of maintenance. You can get these from John Deere.
On the front valve .. you can try a hunter-PGV valve with flow control ASV - Here is the link to this topic and you can find this may solve your problem http://www.hunterindustries.com/products/valves/pgv_asv. html
You certainly problems and works of water, sometimes in mysterious ways my friend. You may be a leak upstream of the valve which is to give the appearance of a problem with the valve.
Thank you, Irrigation Atlanta. It was rainning so I can not do anything yet. Me will wait until the rain stops. Report Abuse
