This is a very thorough message of cleaning, and I cannot fault it. But in my experience, taking the sprinkler head out of the ground is rarely necessary. To service an entire station, I simply activate the station, then I use 2 inch wide paper clamps available at any office supply store to hold all the stems up. And then I unscrew the spray tops off 2 to 4 sprinklers at a time. I reactivate the station and let those sprinklers fountain up into the air. This will generally remove any debris that is down in the cup. I remove and clean the filters, replace them, wash and replace the sprinkler heads and then adjust the pattern. In this manner, an entire station of pop-up sprinklers can be cleared completely in two or three iterations. And nothing ever leaves the ground. A whole bag of alligator paper clamps can be purchased for the price of a single clamping tool, and works just as well if not better. and nothing ever Hass to be removed from the ground.

Oh man, this totally worked on my Rain Bird. The filter was clogged, few seconds of rinsing it off, placed it back and bam....was working perfectly. Saved me money my friend....Thanks!

I need to repair a sprinkler that is shooting up like a fountain.
I do have spares. This was very helpful with just unscrewing the top portion. I will unscrew the head as you noted and replace what is damaged.
Much appreciated.

Informative and to the point. One thing, I would also turn on the system before putting the head back on to blow out any debris that is in the line.

Helpful video, I wasn’t sure exactly what the issue was initially as the head was popping up but not sprinkling. I was going to schedule a service call but decided to try it myself and check the filter after viewing your video. Sure enough the filter was clogged and the cleaning process worked exactly as you demonstrated and the head is now functioning properly. I had to use a sewing needle to clean some of the filter heads that wouldn’t rinse with water, but no big deal. Interesting enough when my service provider did the spring start-up that same head having issues. They said it was repaired but obviously it wasn’t, I’m a bit annoyed they didn’t check the filter. Thank you for the clear and easy to follow steps.

Thank you. Solved the issue and a good lesson on the parts of the sprinkler.

I go to each faucet early in the spring season and with a mop bucket.. I take the assembly off and rinse it in the bucket and keep moving on cleaning the other 25 heads and no need to take anything into the kitchen.

Best video I've seen on this subject. However, I'm having a real problem unscrewing the top. Someone tightened it way too much.

[piandarduinoprojects]

Useful video just what I needed thank you

How about a filter in the mainline? Would that help?

The best way to clean the nozzle screen is to do it while the zone is running, don't be afraid to get wet. Than flip the screen backwards and use the water coming out of the head to clean it. If you get good at it then you can also put the screen in and screw the nozzle back on with the water running too.

You didn't have to remove the entire head. Just the nozzle and filter
