Great video - clear, to the point, easy to understand. I've got a nearly new valve that's leaking like the one in this video, and I highly suspect there's debris stuck in there because I had to modify the PVC plumbing that was leading up to it. Probably got some PVC bits in there. Never knew it was this easy to check it out. Thank you!!

I do not recommend using the drill to put the screws back in. You'll strip the plastic. Using a manual screwdriver you turn the screw backwards to find the grove, then drive.

Chris, this was awesome. HOWEVER, my valves are in subterranean vaults filled with 14 years of debris. In order to perform this check, I first need to excavate one vault... and find the other under the grass somewhere in my yard. The joy of being the second owner of my house. I will never understand why Florida allowed these valves to be put below grade. However, once I dig my way in, I will know what to do. Thanks for a great How-To!

Do you service SW Florida, lol. Just a short drive from Cali.... Gonna try your suggestion now and will let you know if it worked for me. Update: Bit of bad luck and calling a sprinkler man. When I opened the box with the valves, it was making a lot of noise yet most of it is buried under dirt....way above my pay grade but I do enjoy making DIY repairs whenever possible.

Great Video. What is the solution for leaking anti siphon valves. No sprinklers are leaking. How do you know if the valve is bad or as your video explains how to clean out the debris. Is this a regular maintenance to do on the valves. Mine are leaking off and on; and have cleaned them which did stop the leaking valve temporarily. I have had conflicting advice. Install type of inline filter, and or with filters on each valve. The system is two years with 17 valves watering 2 acres. It’s wasn’t cheap. Done by a professional landscaper. One valve failed and I replaced it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
@CaliforniaFishing11 ай бұрын
If you somehow got debris in the water, then an inline filter will catch it. Over time, the filter will get clogged and need replacing/cleaning, but the only issue will be poor performing sprinklers. You can install a filter on the main going to all of the valves or on each one, both would work. For my old house, built in the 60s, this will be an annual maintenance I perform. When I opened the anti-siphon valve, I saw chunks of rusted steel. I ran the water once to clear it, then grabbed a magnet and got the rest. Given the age of the pipes, this will certainly happen again. I

Never shut the water off at the street on your own, if that valve is stuck and breaks thats a big bill. The water company normally will shut it off for free.

Good point! I’ve only ever had one valve be a problem in tens of thousands but hey there’s always a chance. The point is if the valve is hard to turn Don’t do it. Call water agency and they will do it for you. Most of our communities are fairly new so meters are in good condition.

If you have a head leaking with a slow leak on the top, would the valve to flush always be the valve that controls the leaking head?
