How do you check voltage on a solenoid valve in a sprinkler system?
To check the voltage on a solenoid valve in a sprinkler system, first ensure the system is powered on and set to run. Use a multimeter set to the appropriate voltage range and turn the probes to the solenoid terminals, ensuring a good connection. A reading of the specified voltage (usually 24V AC for most sprinkler systems) indicates that the solenoid is receiving power. If there’s no voltage, check the connections, wiring, and the controller for any issues.
How can I manually turn on a sprinkler valve?

How do sprinkler valves work?
Sprinkler valves control the flow of water in an irrigation system, typically using an electric solenoid or a manual lever. When activated, the solenoid creates a magnetic field that opens the valve, allowing water to flow through the pipes and into the sprinkler heads. Conversely, when the solenoid is deactivated, a spring mechanism closes the valve, stopping the water flow. This process is often automated through timers or irrigation controllers to ensure efficient watering schedules.
How do sprinkler valves work to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system?
Sprinkler valves work by opening and closing to regulate the flow of water in a sprinkler system. When the valve is open, water is allowed to flow through the pipes and out of the sprinkler heads, watering the designated area. When the valve is closed, water flow is stopped, preventing water from reaching the sprinkler heads. This control is typically achieved through the use of a solenoid that is activated by an electric signal, allowing for precise control over when and how much water is distributed.
