Hi,
I turned on the indoor valve to my irrigation system yesterday, and found the equipment in the picture starts leaking in almost every screw/joint/valve (If you zoom in you can see the water droplets). The leaking isn't profuse (yet), probably at the rate of 5 drops a minute. My questions:
1. What is this thing called? What is it for?
2. Is there a DIY way to stop/alleviate the leak? I bought some self-fusing silicone tape, hoping to just wrap the whole thing up; but then figured that wrapping the valves and joints may not be effective.
3. If I have to ask for professional help, should I hire a regular plumber, or a landscaper?
Thanks a lot in advance for your insights.
