Sprinkler Repair Day

John spent a few minutes today repairing a broken sprinkler head. This is something we have to do down here in FL all the time.

It's very easy to do this...it's just not any fun.

How to Replace a sprinkler Head
You dig all around the sprinkler head about 8-12 inches deep and 5-6 inches wide. Then you turn the spinkler head counterclockwise until it comes off. Then you put on the new sprinkler head by turning it clockwise until tight.

You could always avoid having to replace the head by fixing it. They are pretty basic...nothing is electronic and it's not rocket science. It's just so much easier to just replace the head.

Note: You want to make sure to replace the old head with the same type of head. Don't upgrade or downgrade...when the irrigation company installed the system, they spread out the heads into different zones to make the system balanced. You can't overload or underload any of the zones.

  1. Sounds like a pain, but easy to do once you've mentioned it. How many times do you end up replacing the sprinkler head?
