Year of the broken sprinkler system apparently. My house, and my sprinkler system, are about 20 years old. We moved in about 2 1/2 years ago. I just this season turned on the sprinkler system because it was so wet in the last two years. I've already fixed two runs of sprinkler line previously. I am replacing 2045 A's with ag-5.
I have an old his Sprinkler that I'm working on. I kept the old housing. The difference between this and the AG five is it seems to have a half inch nipple on the side. I removed the housing and cleaned it and added plumbers tape to the nipple and replaced it. I put a new body in the housing. After turning on the sprinklers the sprinkler will work for the long water shoot, and it will switch over to ratcheting, but after ratchet incomplete it will not re-switchover.
I thought this was a pressure issue so I changed the nozzle twice it's still did not ratchet over. I thought it might be the new internal body so I replaced it with a second units internal body. The same issue persists in that the sprinkler will work for shooting the long distance, and it will switch over to the Rationing portion, and then once it finishes it will just hang again even on the new body.... it rotates to where the trip switch touches the adjustment, and it hangs. I'm sure what I should do. It seems like the only option I may have is just to let it go full circle.
Suggestions, thoughts?
