I have a sprinkler system at my home that I am having some troubles with. The last zone in the system must have a bad valve or solenoid as it will not shut off. The problem is that I have 2 zones in the front yard and 4 zones in the back but can only find 3 of the valves. They are all 3 right next to each other in the back yard in the ground and were covered by grass. I have been searching the rest of the yard trying to find the 2 valves in the front and the last valve in the back yard. Any suggestions on how to find these? They don't seem to be at the start of the sections like I thought they would.

Anyone have one of those low voltage in ground wire detectors that the phone guys use that I could borrow or know where I could rent one?

Go to a H2O supplier and rent a 501 to locate the wires.and valves. Small investment for ease of location. I broke down and bought one and it has decreased my time on jobs alot. they will explain how to use it. Well worth it.
