How far away from the irrigation controller AND the PSR should the PSRB be placed?

I cant find anything that wont hurt when wearing. I mean I dont have large ears. LOL

What about in freezing locations? leaving water in the pipe with no way to blow out will crack the pipe

Thanks Nerd.

Rain bird all day!

I understand it’s a hunter controller but I have rainbird valves can I just use my rainbird dc latching solonoids for this hunter controller?

Thank you so much! We can not waster water in Texas, and my xeric garden doesn't need the water that it is getting.

I tried to connect using 1/2” tubing, but couldn’t get it to fit. Is that the correct type?

My sensor senses when it’s wet but never switches back to sensing dry, any idea how to fix this??

Great video, I'm planning to create DIY system with poly tubing so it can be converted to an unground system in the future. I've been considering 3/4 inch and 1 inch poly due to the distance and amount of heads I would like to install. Would you measure the GPM directly from the spigot or would u recommend creating short hoses for each diameter and connecting them to the spigot to measure the flow after building pressure in the line?

Are these solenoids compatible with Irritrol EV's? Was told they are by supplier, but when i put this on the valve its still constantly on and making noise

Hi there, How can I erased a decoder from a acc controller. And then replace with a new one on the same station numbers, Of the one that was just erased?

These are excellent

Thanks! very concise and precise video. You answered all my questions and voila! sprinkler repaired and adjusted!

Can you just put a brick or a rock on top so that it doesn’t pop up?

two years later and still no diaphragms available?

Hmm cost of winterization in my area Ohio asking 200$+ ..

Will the stem stil pop up when the zone its on comes on

Do you need to install a pressure reducer for this setup?

On one of my valves, when I turn it on by controller it makes a whining sound while running. When I manually turn by bleed screw or turning the solenoid the sound is not present. Is this a solenoid issue making sound while powered on? Not a buzzing but a loud whining.

Excellent presentation. You just saved me $200+

Can this foot valves installed in petrol pumps

Thank you! Great information.

Please review the ESP-BAT-BT next. Thanks!

Hi- thank you, do the amount of zones you have matter when buying the new WiFi panel?

Hello good day. A quick question please. What are the 2 screws on the valve housing on the same valve on your video; but GB series (with out the clean water tube on the side). I figured one screw near the flow control handle maybe for the manual opening of the valve (bleed screw); but what about the other screw on the other side of the valve by the solenoid?

People keep walking on and breaking off my sprinkler. I needed this info. Thanks!

Thank you for the very helpful video, went your link and it was cheaper than Amazon, thanks again, just ordered the caps I needed (Method 2).

If I use method 1 to cap off sprinkler heads, do I have to do anything different when blowing out before winter

you missed the most obvious reasons for maintenance purposes having easier access to the sprinkler system is better. Usually, the sprinkler system is buried under dirt and difficult to access. I added two donuts and filled with sand to make changeouts easier and provide better clearance around the sprinkler. I have to literally excavate the two I installed risers on because over a few years they had become entombed in dirt.

Great info thanks!

It has actually become more a nickname for the thread tape. But I looked at your stupid ass clip so you win. But you look Sus af

What type of battery to use. Would have been useful mentioning that piece of information.

Thanks Andy. The wording is confusing but I get it : to cap a rotor, we use the method 3. And in fact, you say it at the beginning of the video but we expect to have a little bit more emphasis on it when you do talk about method 3 later on.

Ordered a replacement transformer, installed it, no power coming out. Ugh! What now?

I just got one and installed it and I love it so far. A WiFi battery operated controller would be next level though. I think they make them but they are expensive

I live in an HOA and they recently increased the pressure of the sprinklers without telling us. A sprinkler popped up that I didn’t know existed because the previous owner laid a bunch of bricks over it to stop it. For some reason it’s right next to the AC and bathroom window. I woke up to this sound of rushing water. I look out the window and see this river next to my window and AC. So the bricks did work for awhile but not with this new pressure. I have the rainbird 1800 my neighbor who has an identical house has the hunter and there seems to be just normal standard ones sprinkled around. Best $2.39 I ever spent

Very interesting and good explaination, except for one thing : it should clearer that it is for spray sprinkler, not any sprinkler. Il I understood correctly.... I don't think the third method will it work for Rain bird 3500 ou 5000 ? There is a sentence near the end where he says any spray sprinklers. So I still ha e my problem : I need to close 1 rain bird 5000. I thought a cap like.that should exist for those sprinklers too ?

I find it hard to believe that a planet mostly made of water is running out of water.

I have this controller and when I turn on I'm getting "NO AC" which tells me no power. I tested the outlet the plug is in and it is getting power. Does this mean that I have to replace the transformer? Could there be any other issues other than this? How can I test the transformer to make sure this is the issue? I do notice that it is hot though. thanks

I had this system when I built my house 2yrs ago. It does not have a timer on it. The lights will not go off now. How do I reset the timer?

I've found that the solenoids fail on these units more often than debris being present inside the valve. The actuating tips at the bottom of solenoids wear over time. After a few years, the solenoid simply needs to be replaced. This is especially true with Lawn Genie brand. Just buy a new solenoid. Unscrew it by hand and install a new one. It doesn't matter which of the solenoid black wires go to the two electrical connections where you removed the old wire nuts. Solenoids are relatively cheap at the box stores, and any novice can replace them.

My sprikler system is 11 yrs old, the tops don't look anything like the Hunter. The top says "K-Rain" RFS (or is it KFS). Can I cap this with an easier method (other than the last one you demonstrated which requires I did way down to the base connection - your permanent solution) ?

Thank you. All the information is actually helpful for when I go to Lowes! They have so many pieces! So thank you again!!!

The diagram I've seen suggests using one header at the top of the slope, then an array of driplines that each run down the slope and terminate in another header at the bottom. Do you know if there would be any issue with rotating that 90 degrees? In other words, the headers go down-slope on either side of the yard; and the dripline goes between them, with not much slope change along any individual dripline. I ask because due to the arrangement of the trees in the yard, it would be comically hard to run the dripline down-slope, but pretty easy to run it cross-slope. Also, can you recommend distribution tubing to connect the headers and dripline to the source, and to go around areas that don't need irrigation without wasting water? I suppose I could use anything, but I'm looking for something that will last for many years while direct-buried.

Gad my system is old how do I know which sprinkler it is?

My Orbit valve has a solenoid with a small arm below the solenoid that you turn to move the solenoid instead of grabbing on to the solenoid. I can't remove the solenoid because the arm only allows me to only turn the solenoid about 3/4 of a turn before it comes into contact with the valve housing. What can I do?

Great channel man! Do you have a video to fix what I think is called hammering? I woke up when my sprinklers were going at 10pm because there was a loud rhythmic thumping/hammering sound. Next morning the sprinklers went off at normal time again and I saw all my sprinkler heads bouncing up and down coupled with the hammering/thumping sound (this was happening one zone at a time). I purged the system by shutting off the water supply, running the system and then finally, slowly re-starting the water supply. Oddly, the system started on zone 2 and seemed to have been corrected as all the zones ran normally. Just to be sure I ran it again- this time it started on zone one and ran perfectly but, when it went to zone 2 the hammering was back. Any chance you know what to do?

I cant see existing programs in the app. How do i load those

I love the video! is there a video on how to install that quick coupling valve like I think a saddle tap is needed but I’m still new
