I am of average IQ and I can fix most any irrigation problem; except electrical. First, clearly identify the problem then buy the parts at Home Depot or any Rainbird location. If you go to Rainbird they can give you great advise on how to fix your problem. Any broken head is super easy to replace . What exactly is your problem?

I have one head that leaks constantly. Changed the head. Same problem.

I then changed the solenoid and the diaphragm. Now, as soon as the water supply is turned on, the whole station irrigates continually. Somehow, that station is stuck in the "on" position. Not sure if this is a diaphragm or a solenoid issue.

Is it possibly manually open on accident? I know my system has a manual open knob. Even when the electrical solenoid is not activated, you can turn it and the station will turn on (for when electricity is out). It's possible that is bumped open or just not sealing properly.

Is that the pc term?

Like how a "education institution serviceman" is a janitor?
