Good source for older style valve parts

The online store was the only place I could find the proper diaphragms for some older automated valves in my sprinkler system. I don’t want to have to replace the valve manifold so I loaded up on what I needed to avoid updating to newer style valves and diaphragms.

The new diaphragms fixed the leak problem. Spring has sprung in south east AZ, so I turned on the water, after setting idle all winter long, and everyone of the nine valves leaked. This had never happened before, but I assume that after 5 years in operation, everything eventually breaks? I replaced every diaphragm and we are back in operation. All nine valves open and close as programmed. Thanks to Orbit for the instruction videos and all the videos I found on YouTube. The work was not difficult, and the videos showed me what to do, step by step. Now, it is time to plant my flowers and enjoy their beautiful blooms, all summer and fall.

Replacement diaphragms

After receiving and installing the replacement diaphragms, my sprinkler system is back online! If I had a complaint about anything, it was the slow initial fulfillment of the order. Other than that, I’m very happy it all worked out.
