Another 'zone won't shut off' problem
Comments (1)It's likely that the bottom half of the zone 2 valve has a small crack which will allow it to run as long as water is in the main line under pressure. You will most likely have to replace the valve....See MoreSprinkler Valve won't turn on under pressure
Comments (0)I have a sprinkler valve on my system that will only turn on with the timer if I turn the water supply to that valve off and then back on once the valve opens. My husband has already replaced the solenoid and opened the valve bonnet to make sure everything is clean and not clogged or damaged. The valve works fine by manually turning it on with the screw. It also will work with the timer if I turn the manual screw on then off while the timer is on. I do have pretty high water pressure and am wondering if high water pressure could cause the valve not to open with the timer or if maybe there is some other reason involving the internal parts that I might not be seeing. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!...See MoreInstalling sprinkler shut off valve below frostline
Comments (1)I got so pissed off at my sprinkler system I ripped out the valves and started over. I was sick and tired of trying execute repairs in a tiny whole in the ground. Get angry just thinking about it. I'm guilty of having put in most of it. I decided to go in the opposite direction. I built an above ground box and all of the valves are above ground on quick disconnects the electrics are on quick disconnects. In a couple of weeks I will kill the water, spin the quick disconnects and pull the whole valve manifold system and put it in the basement for winter. I will never have a frozen busted valve again. Done. Even if I forget it, repairs can be done at the kitchen table....See Morewasher - hot water won't shut off
Comments (2)Water valve is either clogged with bit of sand/debris, or is worn/bad. Try disassembling and cleaning it, or replace it if that's easier for you. This is an easy DIY repair and is not expensive. Maytag Water Valve...See Morelehua49
