We see it everyday. A sprinkler head leaking water constantly. Most of the time it’s not the sprinkler head that’s bad.... Valleyscapeca.com Iconoutdoorlighting.com 951.837.3209 Temecula, CA La Quinta, CA

Me too got my valve cleared from what looked like bits of steel or iron (rusted bits), I would have never thought to take the cap off or those 6 screws to peek inside, thanks for taking the time to make this video, I know it's not a simple process and I appreciate that.

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!!

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!

Hey great video. I cleaned out my valve like you said. I didn't see any debris or ripped seals, but it's still leaking. What do I do now? Replace the valve? I even opened the anti-siphon valve like you said and it seems stable. I also don't hear running water.
@paulaguilar50413 жыл бұрын
Excellent video. I will add 1 thing. Often the diaphragm will just wear out. Especially if they get lots of sun. I’ve had to replace many diaphragms just bc they wear out. You can buy these at most home improvement stores.

@waitingwatching12919 ай бұрын
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.
@CaliforniaFishing9 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

I have about 3 valves that when turned on, water flows out of the anti-syphon side. If no debris or damage is apparent on the diaphragm, I presume it all has to be replaced?

Ya your best bet it to completely replace the valve. Could be “backflow” but that’s a whole other box of worms.

I had this condition and after opening the valve noticed the diaphragm was kind of brittle, so I got a kit and replaced it. How old would you say a diaphragm would be before it needs replacing? Mine was almost 20 years.

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. This one just isn't possible :)

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.
