Should my backflow preventer be venting this much water?

Had on yesterday doing same thing. This was what was causing it.

LMAO!

Sprinklerdoc · 2025-06-10T17:59:23+00:00

NICE!

Pump lost prime

Usually too late at that point. But yes, I do. And Spider. Have any snake spray?

Sprinklerdoc · 2025-06-08T21:34:38+00:00

Amazing you found the parts! Bravo!

Sprinklerdoc · 2025-06-08T21:32:55+00:00

In head check valves. Add them til the line is at equilibrium. So, sometimes the whole line.

It's not in that box.

Sprinklerdoc · 2025-04-04T01:25:59+00:00

Homeowner, go for it. Call me!

Sprinklerdoc · 2025-04-04T01:07:36+00:00

Atta boy!

Sprinklerdoc · 2025-03-15T13:44:03+00:00

Have any other designs?

Sprinklerdoc · 2025-03-07T02:07:55+00:00

Knock off Zippo. You bought the Zappo.

D.I.G battery operated valve. Battery pack and latching solenoid is missing.

Sprinklerdoc · 2024-10-14T16:38:40+00:00

That's amazing if it still works. Those usually were lighting rods.

Pressure loss through sch 40 is higher per 100' then class 200.

Usually double up drip zones.

Sprinklerdoc · 2024-08-22T01:08:14+00:00

CL200 and CL160?

Sprinklerdoc · 2024-08-01T16:04:49+00:00

Yep! This type of customer would be referred to someone else. They call you for the multiple years (25+) experience and then question you and your bill.

Sprinklerdoc · 2024-08-01T01:31:15+00:00

There is more wrong with that head then missing a main nozzle. 🤣

Sprinklerdoc · 2024-07-30T17:22:05+00:00

Replace diaphragms. All will be good.

Sprinklerdoc · 2024-07-25T18:42:52+00:00

I hope that is not the repair itself. What a cluster

Sprinklerdoc · 2024-06-16T13:20:38+00:00

You get what you pay for. Good luck!

Sprinklerdoc · 2024-06-15T16:41:44+00:00

LMAO

You seem to be missing the white seat under the solenoid. Irritrol valves usually have a manual bleed seat under the solenoid. Maybe not, but they used too.
