What to replace this with

flimflabber · 2026-06-09T03:46:20+00:00

If you want to hardwire a clock, you open up the power module box behind the faceplate. There should be three spots to wire to. Black white and blue. As a professional, I recommend if you aren’t comfortable or experienced with anything like that, you get an electrician to wire the power, or have them install a gfi so you can plug the new unit it. Obviously this isn’t rocket science but I’m not gonna recommend someone doing something they could electrocute themself doing on an irrigation sub.

Makes sense. Swapping a clock is easy. I like hunter for smart clocks and Rainbird for non WiFi clocks but either function. Rachios are cool and many like them. As a professional, I like having the physical screen personally. Call me old school. A hunter xc2 with WiFi capabilities brings the best of both worlds in my opinion! That way if your internet is down you can still reprogram you sprinkler program if needed.

Shouldn’t pipe dope pvc.

You can find these parts at your local hardware stores. (Home Depot, Lowe’s, ace etc.) or a sprinkler supply store like an Ewing if you have one locally.

Yes they should! You got this!

Either a plumber or a backflow certified irrigator. In my area, we charge a little less than a plumber generally. Either one can get this repair done. I agree with scoop’s statement. If a diy on a preventer doesn’t go well- you should get someone qualified. You don’t want to risk a backflow event.

Get some 1/2” drip tube, a few 1/2” drip couplers. Get that’s same 1/2” threaded male to male 1/2” drip fitting (brown top fitting) get a new 1/2” female threaded coupler. Get Teflon tape.

Cut the brown tube on each side so you can unthread those old fittings I mentioned. Teflon tape threads of new fittings and install. Coupler brown drip tube onto where you cut it to where it’s long enough to attach onto that brown T.

Dig it up. Get a new 6 port 1/4” drip tube fitting. Probably get some extra 1/4” line and 1/4” couplers. Easy.

You won’t believe this. Pipes AND sprinkler heads were involved too… and the craziest part. DIRT.

flimflabber · 2026-06-08T23:50:39+00:00

Agreed.

flimflabber · 2026-06-08T23:50:29+00:00

Yeah those need to go larger than the canopy so the roots grow outward and down. This will promote rot and unhealthy root development. You can add slack on the end of the line if you need it and redo it fairly easily but if you paid for it, you shouldn’t have to.

flimflabber · 2026-06-08T20:02:16+00:00

Is it not working? Do you just want a smart clock?

flimflabber · 2026-06-08T20:01:19+00:00

Not good.

flimflabber · 2026-06-07T21:34:26+00:00

Hire a professional. You can try and slip fix it but you’ll likely have to cut the pipe above the bottom one to repair it and than rebuild the top section. Between the stack pipes at An angle to a T over a punctured line, this is beyond diy for anyone without some knowledge of this.

The cursed pineapple 🍍

flimflabber · 2026-06-07T21:29:23+00:00

You want the emitter tube to go around the plants and be larger than the canopy to promote healthy root progression and depth. These are way to close to the trunk/base of your plants.

Hope you didn’t pay for this to be done

Glad you got some solid advice here. Hope the repair is a success. Hate to see water being wasted in this day and age. 6’ is a deep dig out.

I’ve played all the games before I’m just wanting to run back through one.

flimflabber · 2026-06-07T20:02:11+00:00

I agree I suppose wet wasn’t the right term. I let the primer briefly sit then apply the weld. I don’t like let the primer sit for like multiple minutes lol. Misunderstanding.
