My System Never Stops Running, What Causes It And What Should I Do?

 

Stuck Zone Valve

 

When a zone valve is stuck on the water in a particular section of the yard in constantly running. It is most of the time easy to identify this problem. Some sprinkler systems have what is called a master valve on their system. This controls all of the zone valves, making it sometimes difficult to realize that another zone valve is stuck on. A stuck zone valve happens usually if a pipe was broken and dirt got into the valve. Maybe after some recent planting. A weekly or monthly walk through of the sprinkler system is advised to find out about problems like this.

 

If you have a stuck valve it is time to contact us to find the valve and clean it.
