I posted this in the Landscape forum before seeing this forum and will try to delete it from there if possible since my question clearly belongs here. I need to adjust and probably replace several heads due to installing some garden boxes and a deck extension to minimize water waste. my first...

I need to adjust and probably replace several heads due to installing some garden boxes and a deck extension to minimize water waste. my first thought is to change the coverage pattern and reduce the throw distance to see if I can stop needlessly watering the boxes and deck. To do so requires...

So , from watching this video, How to Remove Blu-Lock Fittings - Regency Irrigation - Do-It - YouTube YouTube, it would seem that the fittings are a positive type compression fitting which leads me to believe they can be reused.

Thanks for the info Worth Florida. Wondering if I can reuse the fittings and replace the pipe?

Can anyone tell me the name and type of combination 90 degree fitting shown in the pictures? Can I reuse them and if so do I need a special tool to remove them from the blue pex pipe collar they are attached to? I need to move two irrigation heads about 2' from where they currently sit and I...

Controller and all valves are Rain Bird brand. Controller is testing normal at 24 volts ac. No zone will operate in either manual or auto mode unless I disconnect the black wire supply from the controller to the black wire on the master valve solenoid and open the valve flush then all zones will...

So I should remove the handle, make sure the black piece is securely tightened and reinstall the handle?

Moen Eva type handle jiggles on valve shaft. Set screw inside of handle is tight. Any idea why there is play in the handle. Installed new in December of 2019. Thanks for any replies.

Just received notice that we are soon to expect 15 minute rolling power outages with one hour and 15 minutes of service so all bets are off

I do have PEX throughout. We are forecast for a low in the mid twenties tonight followed by lows in the high teens tomorrow and Friday night. High starting Thursday of 32 and then higher every night thereafter so my most critical times are tonight thru mid to late Saturday morning when the temp...

At this time, having an air compressor with enough volume to satisfactorily remove enough water from my cold supply is akin to a "if a frog had wings he/she wouldn't bump their ..." . Continuing to have power is a constantly changing problem in and of itself and will greatly depend on how many...

Unlike homes built to withstand and function where freezing is an every year ritual, it is not the usual case here in Austin. Long story short, the water provider is about to shut the entire system down and restore service sometime tomorrow. My home does not have a low water point drain to...

I have everywhere I can get a small tube nozzle into.It feels like the issue is inside and close to the handle on the chrome stem that the flapper arm connects to. I have sprayed and worked the handle several times to try to help the silicone spray work into all areas.

Need help determining how to lubricate the lever so it doesn't stick in the flush(down) position. The chain attaching the flapper to the lever is not kinked causing the issue. Biggest concern is breaking the screw on the linkage assembly closest to the black plastic nut inside the tank and...

Ended up cutting the basket flange nut and replacing the entire drain basket

Yes I will in all likelihood get one from my local Home Depot if I am not fortunate enough to loosen it soon

I should add without damaging the threads on the sink drain basket as well.

As is often the case,at least when I attempt to make a home repair,things that look so easy online go to hell in a hand basket. Case in point,after removing the steel nut connecting the top of the drain tail piece to the bottom of the sink drain basket,I am now trying to loosen(lefty...

The drain assembly on the large bowl(opposite the one connected to the disposal) is less than two years old. When cleaning the sink and drain yesterday I noticed the drain spin when I was cleaning with a sponge.A couple of hours later I heard a drip sound and when I looked at the underside I...
