I'll do it for $15 an hour

Wish I could help you, Jeff. I've got nothing on sprinklers.

i install sprinklers for a summer job.... looks like u blew ur vaccum breaker? I wish i could be more of assistance for you. You could do alot of this by urself. Its a simple fix, well sort of. Do not call a company, a company like mine would charge you 2 hours of labor at 75 dollars an hour, 150 for the VB, so it owuld be like a 250-300 fix atleast, and of course they will send two people so one can get cigarettes and sit around with his finger in his butt, so you can double labor. Ill look into a company i know and see if there is one by you.

ok this is john deere landscapes, there are the closest to your area, they will have the vaccum breaker and if they are anything like the place over here, they will be more that welcome to help you get everything you need and assist you in any questions. The best idea would be to bring in the VB to JohnDeere and show them what broke. I could also help u a bit more if you could take a picutre of the Vaccum Breaker.Nothing more than a couple fittings, teflon paste, a VB and a bout 30 mintues you should be in buisness unless more broke

Dennis,
Thanks for the help. I figured it would be easy, but I couldn't find the part anywhere but online. I will check out the John Deer stores.

Thanks again
Jeff

hey not a problem, if u have problems with the install or more in depth instalation instructions, just PM me and i will be more that welcome to help, hell i just replaced one today, it was more of a direct replacement, so i hope you dont have broken pipe.

For the rain sensor, there should be a wire terminal in ur control timer, hook it up, depending on the brand it could be anywhere behind he front pannel. From there run it up to the roof of your house.
