Great video. I used to put in systems in high school so I know how easy it is. I hope to put in my own system in the future.

You're the man SC. Just saved me 75 bucks. I live in Acushnet, MA. If you're out on the town at all in MA, wear a SC shirt so I know to buy you at least a couple rounds!

Loved the vd this will be the first year with my sprinkler and now I can open them on my own Thanks 💪

You really should take the time to explain to people that they need to go outside FIRST and make sure the valves are closed, since most places winterize them by placing them at 45-degree angles. If someone doesn't know to check that first and just follows your video they will screw up their system and probably have some costly repairs that need to be made.

Great explanations. Thanks

The best tutorial with careful explanation. Sub!

Thank you!

I don't mind paying the pros I just can't get them to come out! Called them yesterday and they said the earliest they could come out is July! LOL. Looks like I will be doing this myself. Thanks for the video. Would have been good to see how the zones are turned on at the box. (if they were turned off last winter)

Thank you.

Thank you for sharing.

Hunter Sprinkler System Acting up Changed all valve diaphragms (new from HomeDepot) and solenoids (new from HomeDepot and all in closed position) Tried switching wires from back and front lawn zones at controller and results as follows: 1. Front lawn zone works perfect, no leak at pressure vacuum breaker and starts quick 2. Back lawn zone starts late and pressure vacuum breaker leaks during spray (even after changing wires at controller) After getting information as amateur, there is leak in back yard and i have changed two heads which originally did not come out and spray was minimal. Despite that back lawn still starts late and vacuum breaker still leaks during duration of spray. Maximum duration i manually set for 20 minutes for back lawn, still the same (starts late and vacuum breaker still leaks). You being professional have knowledge and would you please help me in fixing back lawn zone.

Thanks for another great vid. I have a simple two zone system. Bought my house 3 years ago. My sprinkler guy went MIA, so when spring hit I just turned the main water line on to the sprinklers and the sprinkler system wouldn't stop shooting water out. I didn't turn on the zones but water kept shooting out. I just turned the main water valve to the system off and just didn't use it all summer. I know I didn't take the right steps but why would the water just keep flowing like that without the zones being on? Thanks for ur great channel.

Those are Hunter I-20 rotors. They are very good head that you have.

After I open my house water and the outside valves it keeps pouring out of the backflow hardware. Any idea what could be causing this?

Please help. What irrigation timer model# has on/off time settings but has no limitation or duration on water flow time?

I watched many vidoes on this subject and I believe it is a mistake to first turn the water on before checking outside the settings....

This is exactly what I needed to know! Thanks!

good job! wish he can do a vid on more of a sprinkler head assortment on rotation and non rotatary type for clarity, esp. for rain bird!

This video is different from what the sprinkler companies recommend. They start on the outside of the house and then go inside to turn the water on.

I had an irrigation system put in late last fall in Michigan which is currently winterized would like to save some money and open it myself my question is do the valves inside the boxes in ground have to be on or off l have 5 zones and their all off also wondering how to adjust the sprinkler heads which are rain Bird 1800 and 5000 thanks for your time

You said you would add tape and tighten up the plug when you open them, was it already tightened?

This vid is exactly 2 yrs old

learned al ot but also a good ear rape meme thank you so much
