no water coming out. to fix it, we first checked to see what direction the sprinkler head needed to spray. most sprinklers will measure this in degrees. if you want water to come out all of the edges of the sprinkler, then select one that sprays 360 degrees. we only wanted one that came out half, so 180 is what we selected. >> before w sprinkler head out, carefully dig out small chunks of grass that surrounds the sprinkler head. you'll put these back when you're done. unscrew the old sprinkler head making sure no dirt, and rocks get in the line and replace it with the new one. cheek it for a couple of things. first, make sure that the new sprinkler head isn't too tall. second, turn the water back on and make sure it works.

water is spraying in the right direction. if it's not, turn the water back off and check the top of your new sprinkler head. you'll see clearly marked on the top, arrows. these arrows need to be pointing in the direction you want the water to go. once everything is working right, put your grass back in around the sprinkler head. if it's not working right, that's when you need to call in home advisers have an entire list of professionals that can help you with your needs. for instructions on how to do all this, head over to 9news.com/fix this.
