Sprinkler Irrigation Valves Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting sprinkler irrigation valves can fix common issues. If a zone doesn’t water, check if the valve is open—manual valves may be accidentally closed. For solenoid valves, test the solenoid coil with a multimeter to see if it’s faulty. A stuck valve may be due to debris—remove the bonnet and clean the diaphragm. If water leaks from the valve, replace worn O - rings or the diaphragm. Pressure issues could mean a faulty pressure - regulating valve. Ensure the controller is sending signals to the valve—check wiring connections. If valves open but water flow is low, inspect for clogged screens or pipes. Regular maintenance, like cleaning filters and checking valves, can prevent many problems. Fixing valve issues promptly keeps the sprinkler system efficient and avoids water waste.​
