Have you ever wondered how your sprinkler system works? In this video, Dave gives us the breakdown of the valve systems—what they do and how they work.
You’ll learn a lot about those parts of your sprinkler system that you see on a regular basis, but aren’t sure what their purpose is or how they function.
Parts of your sprinkler system that are discussed:
• Anti-siphon valves—These valves prevent water from flowing back into your sprinkler system and causing a backup.
• Solenoid—This is a feature of your sprinkler system that deals with the electronic functioning, such as charging the clock or sending an electrical charge from the controller to the valve which opens up the diaphragm.
• Flow Control—With this valve you can control the flow of water by turning it down or up as needed. Usually, you are able to turn water down about 85-90%, but it is abnormal for it to turn all the way off.
• Bleeder valve—If you have debris built up in your valves, the bleeder can flush them out and clear that debris. If you notice leaking valves, take a screwdriver and open the bleeder valve slightly to flush out the diaphragm in case debris has found its way in there. Make sure you close it tightly!
• Diaphragms—The diaphragm opens and then releases the water to go to your sprinkler head. If the diaphragm is old, blown out, or otherwise damaged, the clock will no longer be able to control it and your watering will not occur with the precision that it may be set for. Bad diaphragms are quite common—making up the bulk of Dave’s calls.
Replacing valves can be tricky, which is why the best way to replace one is to give Dave a call. He’ll come out and give you a free estimate on what it will take to get your sprinkler system working in tip top shape again!

Here is my home made bike work stand. I would love a nice Park Tool bike stand, but they are pretty pricey.It was a lot cheaper to build my own. I have been using this stand to work on my bikes for at five years or more, and it still works great. The basic design can easily be modified for your own needs.
The latch is called a “straight loop draw latch”. I originally bought it at Lowes, but am not seeing them there now. I don’t see them at Home Depot either. But I found a bunch on Amazon and other online places.
Here is a page with detailed plans and parts list for this bike stand:
