On some systems, good irrigators will install an additional ball valve. However, not all do, and in those cases, the double check functions as the shut-off!
my sprinklers won't come on. Technician says there's no water coming in from source and suggested cities usually cut water some days for rationing. We assumed that made sense. Now, however, my sprinklers still don't come on but my neighbor's do, which kind of debunks the city theory.
Help! What if my irrigation system doesn't have that valve? I just see wires. It was leaking all morning. Already turned water off to house. Help. I am freaking out. 😢
We see here in North Texas that most shutoff valves are located below ground, however one of the most common backflow preventers within the United States would be a PVB unit, which can be found above ground. This is typically found near the house or at the highest point of elevation on the property (most commonly found underneath an artificial rock). Given the situation, our best suggestion is to reach out to a plumber or licensed irrigator to reinstate the flow of water to your home. Hope this helps!
@@ChorbieHome just saw your comment, but I figured it out! The place where my hose connects to had a know that I turned until it stopped. It turned it off! I couldn't believe I figured it out. Thanks for your answer!! Problem solved!

the backflow preventer doubles up as a shut off valve? Or is there supposed to be a seperate shut off?

Oh no!!
What would you check if none of the sprinkler heads pop up, but yet the solenoid is good and water does flow through the valve when it is on?
Hire us ;) Just kidding, but at that point, it is best to have an expert come out to do an evaluation.
