I know this is an example because you would have a more serious problem if a rock that big is in the valve body. So how do you flush a valve properly to get the grit or sediment out of the valve body which will cause the diaphragm to not close as it was designed? The bigger question is how do you flush the valve properly without filling the box with water - no one can turn main flush valve properly without filling the box with water. Plus there will be other debris that will float back in creating another challenge. Using a cup to bale the water is time consuming - digging an area for the excess water creates a mess and using a hand pump still doesn't address debris floating around and getting sucked back in. Some people can't afford to replace the valve - HOW DO YOU KEEP WATER OUT OF THE VALVE BOX WHEN PROPERLY FLUSHING THE VALVE?

I took mine off and it had a 74 pinto stuck in there. Thanks!
Lol 😝 I had one of those too 👍 great gas ⛽️ mileage . 👍⚾️😝
Well that was convenient your screws were already loose and the Rick just happened to be there. Wish it was that easy. Wow life is easy
Good video , I appreciate you getting to the point.
Thanks - will give it a go. If I see a rock like you did, I might simply skip a step and pluck it out with one of the appendages Jesus gave me. 😂
THank you.. awesome! I'll try this tomorrow.
Thank you I do irrigation myself I’m still learning
how the heck did that rock get in the valve.... hmmm, seems fishy.
Come on, it was just used as an example. I had a couple rocks the size of a dime in mine, not sure how they got there either, but it happens.
Gabby doesn't understand soil, the earth, or nature apparently 🤣🤣
You are AWESOME.
great video
#Thanksgiving the clear method for cleaning irrigation my Solenoid valve.
Buy a new valve, remove top and screw on to old valve. Magic.
Thanks for the explanation!
I call shenanigans!!! LOL
this could be an April Fools joke
Tip:
Just dig it up and replace the whole valve
Saves all the farting around
