I built a homebrew automated sprinkler system with the use orbit 3/4" sprinkler valves and garden hoses. It's just connected to the spigot outside. That means, it's temporary and I will have to remove it in winter. It's working pretty well.
However, even though it's temporary, I would like to address an issue that I am experiencing. There are times when it turns off, I will hear a loud hammer on the pipes. About 85%, it happens. Are there any ways to prevent it without putting a hammer arrestor? I'm looking for a temporary solution if there are any.
Thanks!
