My Back Flow Device Is NOT Sealing 'It Is Chugging'

This is a quick video tutorial on explanation of a common problem property owners have when their back flow is not sealing. Some say it looks like the back flow is "Chugging". Common problem when turning on an irrigation system.

My Febco is 5 years old when I changed it last. Pulled it apart and didn't find anything wrong. Found this video Baa Boom fixed my leaking from top.
Haha Thanks Mr. Schepers. When I closed both lines and started up the house line first build the pressure and then opened the irrigation. Viola no leak from top.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We recently installed a FEBCO a few weeks and just got a call from the customer it was leaking from the top area. I thought it was the internal parts causing the leak but after reviewing your video I remember the customer was talking about the ball valve in the front yard being turned off. Thank you!

These instructions were fantastic - easy to follow with enough detail - thank you! My irrigation company would have charged $115 to start up my system - I was almost willing to pay it because I could not get the backflow device to $115 saved and feeling empowered - thank you!

Thank you so much. I was about to go the "repair" route and I just needed to follow the proper sequence to resolve my issue.

Mine was doing this while using air to blow out system, must've started to low on air pressure...followed ur vid and it fixed it. Thanks

I appreciate this video so much! I thought I was going to have to call someone to come out. This worked for me. Thank you!

I know you did this 4 years ago, dang you saved me!!!!

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[StationStation-dugh]

helpful and makes sense. I was about to replace mine because I thought it cracked - nope, just didn't seat with gradual flow - needed full. Saved me a few hours.

Thanks for the advice, it fixed successfully

Any tips for valves that are gummed up and can’t turn? Tried WD40 and they aren’t budging
