We recently had our backyard sprinklers installed. There is one problem though: after only 5-10 minutes of being on, wet round spot appear around all 32 sprinklers and stay there for more than 6-8 hours (Arizona, 106F!).
What can be a problem?
Is it possible that all 4 new valves got clogged during the installation and don't shut off completely? (I think highly unlikely)
Our backyard set up is:
Hunter Pro C controller
Hunter PGV-101G valves (x4)
Hunter SRS04 pop up spray bodies w
Hunter MP Rotators 2000 90-210 & I just noticed that 360s are from MP Rotators 3000 series (don't understand the reason, all sprinklers are placed pretty equally)
x2 PCM-300 3 Sta module F/pro C controllers were added to our Hunter controller
I opened one of the sprinklers after they were running for 5 minutes and I saw water slowly but constantly flowing from the pipe, (valves looked dry, I assumed they were not leaking)...
Also, we have a 765 Pressure Vacuum Breaker installed.
I wanted to know if its valves can be turned off safely during emergencies. For example, can I turn left side valve during any irrigation problems and right-side if the water supply to the house needs to be shut off. I apologize, but I'm complete newbie at these things and have no idea how to operate a backflow valve.
Thank you!
