Modification involves changing the actuation system from electric to pneumatic. Consult the sprinkler valve modification article at SpudFiles for instructions.

A solenoid valve is an electrically-activated mechanical valve that opens and closes when power is applied to it. This kind of valve can be installed and wired into a Sterilight system which is monitored. If the UV intensity were to drop below the recommended level the solenoid would then be activated and automatically shut down the flow of water. This will keep contaminated water from getting through the UV system. See similar questions...

A solenoid valve is an electrically actuated valve. Available as individual units, or mounted as a group to a base, solenoids offer high flow rates, quiet reliable operation, and a number of plumbing alternatives. Quality solenoids are manufactured from brass or hard-anodized aluminum (extruded aluminum bodies degrade in the harsh under-car environment), are rebuildable, and usually advertised as “bubble-tight”.

A typical solenoid consists of the following main elements: a cylindrical coil, a steel or iron frame or shell, a steel or iron plunger and optionally, a stationary magnetic pole/travel stop. A magnetic field is generated within the solenoid by passing electrical current through the coil. The frame or shell surrounds the coil, providing a flux path. In effect, it focuses the magnetic field produced by the coil. See similar questions...

For the purpose of water restrictions, a sprinkler is defined as a device fixed to a hose or pipe system used to distribute, disperse, sprinkle or spray water. Please note that the use of sprinklers for residential watering are restricted. This does NOT include micro irrigation systems or hand held hose. See similar questions...

We fortunately have very good fire suppression and alarm systems throughout our campus. Each building is fully sprinkled, and has state of the art fire annunciation equipment. The Danbury Fire Department is contacted immediately when an alarm is sounded, regardless of reason. See similar questions...

Lawn sprinklers and drip emitters operate in a different way. Sprinklers put out a lot of water and are run for a relatively short time, while drip systems put out a little water and are run for a longer period of time. For this reason, you would not want to put lawn sprinklers and drippers on the same zone. In this situation, you would have one zone for the drip system and another zone or zones for the sprinklers.

A fire sprinkler system assessment may consist of testing a fire sprinkler system’s water and makeup water source; removing sections of the fire sprinkler system’s piping for laboratory analysis; and/or performing video scoping or ultrasound scanning to determine the extent of a fire sprinkler system’s corrosion activity.

Maximum solenoid life is achieved when the pull force required coincides as nearly as possible with the force generated by the solenoid. Solenoids which develop substantially more force than is required are subject to excessive hammering which eventually may cause mechanical failure. To improve mechanical life, the load must be in line with the plunger and side loads must be kept to a minimum. Mechanical life in DC solenoids will be increased with the addition of an anti-bottoming feature. See similar questions...

The solenoid is an electronic valve capable of handling the higher pressure of RO or water systems. The valve opens when powered, and remains closed when not energized. A topoff controller is normally required to use a solenoid, however some people have setup a timer to control the solenoid to open for a few minutes per day. A solenoid is commonly placed on either the source or output of your RO system. See similar questions...

Once upon a time, most engines came with two valves - one to let air and fuel in, and the other to let burned fuel and air out. High-performance engines, such as Chrysler's famous Hemi V8s, came with massive valves. The problem with this was that the big valves were inefficient at lower engine speeds, leading to both gas mileage and pollution problems. See similar questions...

No. Water will drain through the lowest head until the pipe empties. If the seepage does not stop, the problem is with the valve that controls that sprinkler zone. The problem could be as simple as a small piece of debris inside the valve. Warning: Shut off the water supply before disassembling the valve. See similar questions...

Clippard (the manufacturer of our valves) cycled them over 100,000,000 times. They stopped not because the valve failed, but because they got tired of running it. See similar questions...

Smart parts started adding Humphrey solenoids to Shockers in March 2005. Don't bother upgrading the solenoid...it's not that important. Please refer to the Solenoid section of the website for details. See similar questions...

far as water is concerned, a professionally designed and managed irrigation system will actually save money in water bills because it is set to water differently based on the various needs of your property. Considerations such as sunlight/shade, type of soil, types of plants, location of plants on the property, wind, and grading are all factors in a proper design. See similar questions...

Most people say convenience is the biggest advantage to an automatic system since they don't have to spend their time watering by hand or moving the hose around the yard. Others say extended plant life and lower water usage are the most important benefits. Still others believe a sprinkler system is one of the best financial investments they can make in their home since appearance is such a large factor in determining market value. And guess what - they're all right! See similar questions...

Since hand watering is done on a random basis, and at irregular intervals, an automatic sprinkler system will actually, in most cases, use less water. It will also disperse the water at an even rate, and for a predetermined amount of time. This allows you to water sunny and shady areas for different periods of time, and to water when it is most efficient. One obvious benefit is the ability to continue a watering program while you are away on vacation, etc. Yes. See similar questions...
