Thanks for posting the video! I just bought the PGJ at Home Depot and it doesn't come with the Hunter Wrench. You can't buy one there either. Am I missing something here? I need this to adjust the sprinkler, right? People have stolen the wrenches off of the side of the PGP at the store.

Sorry, I know your intentions were good, but you lost credibility when you improperly described the entire subject matter. You kept referring to adjusting the "Radius" when in fact you were describing the "Arc". The radius is a linear measurement as to how far the water is launched and the arc is the degree of circular motion. Both are important, but should not be confused. Otherwise, thanks for your attempt.

Meaning it’s not turning on? What is exactly happening or not happening? Most common issues is typically corrosion on wires where they are wire-nutted together in valve box. But there’s a lot of different scenarios or culprits. Nothing that comprehensive yet.

Make sure the rubber o-ring that goes on the tip of the solenoid is on before screwing into valve. Also that the valve port is completely cleaned of any debris or granulars of dirt

Thanks for the follow up. I used a flathead and gave it one more good turn. That seemed to do it for the leak. All is working but strangely the solenoid doesnt test manually with counter clockwise turn or bleed screw but it works with controller as i need it do.

I have water leaking slowly out of the top of my Rainbird 3500.. and I watched your other video about slope issues and I think that is my problem. Can I use a check valve in my 3500 like you did on the Hunter?
@thesprinklerchannel
@thesprinklerchannel 9 күн бұрын
Those check valves are only for pop up heads. Rotor heads typically have them built in but only will do a max of something like 7 elevation drop. The spring or seal on it might be getting work out and replacing it might solve the issue. You could just unscrew it and screw new one into existing body for easiest swap out.

Newbe question: The sprinkler head doesn't look like it has a lot of surface area to help it stay put in the ground. Are there collars of other devices to put around the sprinkler head assy to keep it in place? How about pouring a little concrete around the bottom of the base to help it stay in place?
@thesprinklerchannel
@thesprinklerchannel 10 күн бұрын
If this sprinkler head is installed correctly with top of head flush with ground and soil compacted that will be sufficient.

Great video if you only have one sprinkler. You wasted half of your video talking about how to snip and cut the jacket off of the wire instead of showing how to connect multiple sprinklers. You also don't mention which of the two solenoid wires to connect to the common wire or if it makes any difference, which some will be wondering.

My sprinkler wires look like Chinese noodles, and are faded to the point that I cannot tell their colors. I am unable to insert new wiring into the plastic conduit/pipe. I am thinking of cutting off a portion of the end of the wires near the stations, and setting up a plastic housing junction box, where I would join them with new wiring. Is this feasible to do?

Difficult issue without creating a different issue. No great solutions. You can try raising it out of the ground if that would work and fix it to a t post. With pop up heads there are taller heads that can pop up over height of small shrubs but don’t know of anything with rotor heads.

I guess there's no other choice but to dig it back out and reposition it?
