Sprinkler head leak
I replaced one of my sprinkler head and my problem is that water
constantly leaks from the head even when it is not spraying. I tried cleaning around the threads, etc and screw it back on but the leak does not stop. Is it a faulty head, or something I am doing wrong? |

If it's the thread/nipple connection, use some Teflon tape and see if it fixes it. R |

R I'm talking lawn system here, but if the zone control valve turns off the zone should not constantly have water for a leak... :) -- Oren ...through the use of electrical or duct tape, achieve the configuration in the photo.. |

Sounds like the control valve is leaking. I have had be as simple as a grain of sand stuck in the diaphram of the control valve. But a good idea to have a repair kit available anyway. Simple to replace if the valve is easily accessible. |
