- The Green Industry News presents Richard Daigle with Irrigator Technical Training School as he goes in depth explaination of the Weathermatic Irrigation Valve
I would never have thought of installing an isolation valve upstream of every valve. So simple and easy. Thanks.
Thank you very much for your very clear explanation! I'm just a homeowner who had a Weathermatic valve fail and need to replace it and your video taught me so much! Most people who do how to video's assume that you know the terms and tools they are using when they show things. Although they have great intentions, I often have more questions about the things they are talking about because I don't know what they mean. You were very clear and showed exactly what you are talking about and I very much appreciate it.
My valve seems to have a crack in the bottom body and I can't imagine how that happened since it seems to be all one piece. I can't see exactly where the leak is coming from but tried just replacing the top part of the valve so I wouldn't have to remove the entire valve - there isn't any room left to cut the pipe. It didn't work and water is still fanning out the bottom. I tried using a mirror to see but just can't see the crack but think I feel a very slight crack. It is Thanksgiving so I have to wait for my Ewing store to open to ask for advice on how to get it out to completely replace it. My husband thought maybe we could try unscrewing it since both ends are screwed into pipe. I don't think that would work because they probably screw in different directions. I am worried that we would put too much pressure on the pipe and break it further. Would be great if there were those swivel type (I think they are called manifold swivel adapters) on the ends so you could just unscrew it off.
Again, thank you for taking the time to make this video.
I really really love all of the videos you put out, y’all know your stuff!
Great info, was able to quickly rebuild a problematic 19 year old Weathermatic valve with the parts from a new 12000 series Silver Bullet picked up on cheaply on ebay. I'm going to get a couple of spares for my parts stash.
thanks for the info but wish you had shot this with a video camera instead of a potato.
Thank you sir. Much valuable information.
Awesome info! I recently had a bad solenoid and replaced it with a new one and now I have water weeping out the new solenoid. I screwed it in as tight as I could by hand. What do you think would cause that? And can it be repaired rather than replaced?
Hello sir, I enjoyed your video on the weather matic irrigation valve but I have an old model that is leaking and I cannot get parts for it so the sprinkler store sold me the newer model meaning I have to replace the old valve and I’ve never done anything like that before I noticed both ends are female threaded so I was wondering if you did a video on how to replace a Weather Matic sprinkler valve. I’m assuming that they can unscrew. I saw one video that show the person unscrewing The old one and then screwing in a new one. Is that how it’s done or do I have to cut my pipes? If you have a video on how to replace the weather Matic irrigation valve could you please send me the link to it I would be most appreciative. Thanking you in advance.
Thanks for the quick lesson.
I’m working with 2” weathermatic, having lots of leaks around the solenoid flapper. Trying to figure out a resolution without having to replace.
I have the weather magic valve that I don’t think is operating properly. When the zone turns in it take 2-3 minutes to charge the zone before water comes out the sprinkler heads. Could this be a bad solenoid?
I have the some valve that turn on but when is time to turn off by the control is keep open what should i do
Time to replace diaphram!
great info, thanks
I do sprinklers the weather matic is nice 4 the machine screw but have u ever had 1 rust on you that would be hell 2 do if it did
You are insisting on how good the valve is staying shut in all situations but I have most of mine leaking with no signal applied to the coils
