How to find sprinkler valve?

Recommended Posts

Anyone have any idea on how to located in ground sprinkler valves? I have 9 zones, and out for the 9 I can only located 4, and of course I have a zone not working which is one of the valves I can’t seem to find.

Valve boxes are are scattered around the lawn and identified by a green access cover that is typically rectangular but sometimes round, if there is just one valve.  Each valve box will have a manifold that can service up to six zones.  Sometimes valves are located near the control panel, just inside or outside the garage, or wherever the water source is.  If the boxes got covered in dirt and grass, you may have to use a metal detector.

The  company that installed the system should have left a blueprint indicating head and valve box locations.  You can probably call them and ask for a diagram, which they should have on file.

Ahh glad you said that, I googled couple hours ago and saw metal detector. Got someone to let me borrow it but I’m having a hell of a time figuring this thing out. Going try to google user manual to figure what setting to do and all that.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
