    Hi Nat
    Awesome video! I have a zone for the flowerbeds that won't turn off. Long story,, but I want to keep that zone shut. If I cut the wires to the solenoid, will that valve stay shut? Thanks a ton and hope you would respond to this. Jay. 🙏

    I'll look in your other videos, but I found this one because I just turned my water on to the sprinklers, and one zone came on, and the sprinkler box was at to off. No zone should be running. I turned the water to the yard off, and am now researching what to do. If you have ideas, id love it!

    My only addition, is that you should have used water resistant wire nuts. Your irrigation components are underground and exposed to water.

      Just curious about that ground wire she mentions for the solenoid. The two wires are the common and the active wire. Make sure you understand electrical wiring before you go talking smack about girls knowing more.

    Hi Nat, great video!! But I have a question for you. All of my zones but one are working fine. And unlike the other zones, when I try manually turning it on, I get nothing. If it was a bad solenoid, then I assume that I'd at least get water coming out when I turn it on manually. Any suggestions?

    • @dathomasii
      @dathomasii 3 роки тому

      Could be a diaphragm issue. I replaced my solenoid and diaphragm when this happened on two zones. It fixed one zone, it did not fix the other zone. The other zone comes on for about 5 seconds, then shuts off. How did you fix it?

      D Long Just unplug your timer if you’re concerned. Or turn it off temporarily. There’s no power to the wires and it won’t go on automatically while you’re working on it

  • @rickybryant3299
    @rickybryant3299 Рік тому

    first of all you never mentioned what your water source was because if it was reclaimed, potable, or a well with a pressure tank your not going to be just pulling that solenoid of without killing the pressure off of it first otherwise the zone will more then likely start and you will get a stream of water in ur face from under the solenoid. next that was a rainbird solenoid you just installed and i can tell you from experience that its alot more then 12 dollars 😂😂. then you wired the solenoid then said next to put your top on ..... ahh no that top will only be put on before those wires get tied together. thats why you didnt put it on when you said that. other then that your fault isnt always the solenoid either. it could be a bad connection or bad mod on the controller so i would test the voltage to the solenoid then the ohms from it at the controller to see what your working with first peace out
