Summertime is a great time to spend time outdoors and enjoy your nice green lawn. But how do you keep your lawn green when your irrigation system is not quite at it's peak? A couple of DIY sprinkler repairs can make all the difference.

One common irrigation problem is a broke sprinkler valve. Fortunately, it is also a relatively easy to fix.

You just need a few items:

  • a new valve
  • PVC adapters
  • PVC glue
  • Teflon tape

Replace it in a few steps:

  1. Disconnect and cut away the old valve after shutting off the water.
  2. Use the PVC adapters and glue to connect the new valve.
  3. Re-attach wiring and check for leaks.

Sound simple? It can be. Just to be safe follow the step-by-step guide to replacing a sprinkler valve.
