Good job sir. I watched this video last night & today I just happened to run across a manifold of four valves with half lawn genies half Irritrol 2700. I ordered two 3/4” PGVs with anti siphon to replace them. You still got it 💪🏻 What’s your opinion on hunter swing joints vs marlex?
Lance, I prefer the RainBird swing arms because they have barbed fittings that can be re-used if you need to cut the swing arm a bit shorter or to remove the swing arm during a repair then reinsert the barbed fitting into the swing pipe. The other benefit is the threaded marlex ells can be removed and added on whereas with the Hunter, you're stuck with the assembly as it is and there is no way to remove the end fittings and reinstall them if needed. Does that all make sense?
No, I don't normally state how long it takes because every job/situation is different. I did that over two visits, though, because I only budgeted a certain amt. of time for the first visit.
What I hate is trying to find a leak that is not leaving a wet spot but you know the system has a leak. Those can be tough.
Tough indeed.
