Hi all,
my first post.
So a freeze split open my pressure vacuum (I think that's it's name) and the system was dormant for three years. I decided to get it going again, and fitted new parts.
A couple of heads have been changed due to obvious mower damage, but all in all it's coming along. Eight zones are doing as they should. One of the two remaining doesn't shut off, though it's a little weird - a couple of heads retract, but three others keep going. I have to turn off the water to stop it, and it runs again when the water is turned back on. Solenoid maybe?
But my main issue is shown in the vide at the link below.
You may have trouble with my embarrassed video mumbling, so here's the thing.
There are 4 heads on this zone, two are the originals and work fine. The other 2 weren't working and I replaced them with new heads yesterday. And they don't work either!
I found a leak in the pipe and repaired it, thinking that would solve things. It didn't.
I don't know if these heads are numbers 1 and 2 in the run, or 3 and 4.
Is there anything I can try to pinpoint the issue?
Thanks in advance! (VIDEO LINK BELOW)
