I have 3 zones in the backyard and is tied into the house plumbing, vs the front yard seems to have a direct water supply before it goes into the house. I have a water softener with copper pipes, when the backyard irrigation goes on one zone is noticeably low and after 7 minutes it almost stops...

The ones with the bubblers/shrub sprinklers water just the shrub and roses. It's been like that since I purchased the house back in Sept 2011. But, always thought it was weird that I couldn't control the flow using that top valve. In an older house I owned had no sprinkler system, using the...

Thanks. Ima gonna look for the pipe and see. What's the pvc pipe one below the 1/2"?

The top valve doesn't do a thing. Not even shuts off. The number of sprinkler heads is probably why the pressure isn't that high. In the backyard I have 3 zones. One is for the 300-350 sqft lawn with about 8 heads. Zone 2 has 13 shrub/bubbler heads. Zone 3 only has 9 compared to zone 2 but...

I have an automation irrigation system present for the front/back yards. The valves are from Irritrol and look something like this http://www.irritrol.com/valves/valves_311as.html Not shown the the picture, but behind the solenoid is a small handle one can use to manually turn the water...

thanks for the tip. how long should it take to drain a 50 gallon tank? opening up the TPV and opening the faucet at the bottom the flow of water is really slow.

yes, did flush from drain valve at the bottom of the heater not a whole lot coming out.

Btw, how much sediment should one see coming out during a flush? I didn't see much, just what appeared to be a less than a handful of fine white powder. The WH doesn't pop or rumble when heating, but rumbles when the hot water faucet is opened, usually for the first time during the evenings...

finally had time to replace valve, all good, no drips of water.

good to know about Grundfos, will highly consider this one, and Laing Autocirc. I was reading on Amazon with regards to Grundfos, Watts(looks just like Grundfos), Laing autocirc, Metlund, and that Chilipepper, all confusing. A couple of reviewers commented on how when they turn on the cold...

After purusing the forums on a recirculation system I see that Grundfos is mentioned often, how warm is the water coming out of the cold water faucet? Anyone have experience with this one, Chilipepper CP6000? Supposed to save energy because it is not running all the time and summoned by the...

The problem is that I have no idea which zone it belongs to. It could be one of three. I thought that I had them all running and checked the heads. Maybe I will check again.

I have an automatic sprinkler system set on a timer for 7 zones. I noticed that no water is coming out of 4 sprinklers. Question is how do I find the blockage or leak? Would there be areas where the ground is sinking? or do I have to just dig up in the areas where water is not coming out of...

mark it here

thanks. will give it a try. it shouldn't be too difficult, right? shut cold water input, drain some water, then remove copper pipe, remove tpv, and replace with new one.

Hello everyone, I moved into this house 5 months ago where it's WH is located in a closet with access from outside of the house. About a month and a half ago with the cold weather I wasn't getting enough hot water in the shower. Instead of turning up the burner temperature I placed a heater...
