I am having a problem with what I believe to be a leak in my irrigation system. I called a professional to get an estimate for finding and fixing a leak. He proceeds to tell me how they check out all the wiring and solenoids and valves etc. "That's good" I think to myself, but the sprinklers work, I think one of the underground pipes is leaking when (whichever of the 8) the station is turned on.
Then this guy starts telling me that the valves/solenoids don't work the way that I think they work. IE, when power is applied the solenoid is activated and opens the valve. He said it works just the opposite, the valve is normally open allowing water to pass and it closes when power is applied.
Seems to me that this guy may not be snapping on all of his synapsis.
Can anyone on here give me the staight scoop?
Regards,
Dan
