diaphram question for lawn genie sprinkler valves

14 years ago

Hi,

I have a similar issue, I have a lawn genie valve L7034, the diaphram is bad. I bought a whole new valve assembly @ home depot, replaced the diaphram, but the valve still stays open. The guy @ HD said they changed the daiphram a few years ago and I should go to Sprinkler Word (of coarse there closed all weeekekend for the holiday)I know the diaphnram is at least part of the problem since it was very old and torn. but I have been looking around here and I don't see anyone with simillar issues. Is this true or was that Home depot guy full of it? even @ lawn genie.com they only list 1 dipahram available.

Hi Bryan,
Why buy a valve assembly and do all that very precise work and be frustrated in the end because it doesn't work right or doesn't work for long. Just buy a new valve and replace the broken one. Unless you enjoy believing sales people that may or may not be able to help you. Sounds like the HD guy was somewhat more knowledgeable and more helpful than most. I wonder why he didn't suggest just replacing the valve with a new one? Aloha
