FAQ
How do I know if a solenoid is bad?
Use a multimeter to check resistance at the solenoid. An open circuit or a value far outside the typical range indicates a failed coil.
Why does my valve click but not open?
A click means the solenoid is energizing, but debris, a torn diaphragm, or insufficient pressure/flow can prevent the valve from opening.
Should I rebuild or replace a sprinkler valve?
Rebuild when the body is intact and parts are available; replace when the valve body is cracked, threads are damaged, or multiple components are failing.
