Today, Property Care Guys did a Reticulation Repair in Swanbourne, West of Perth.
The owner was doing some major house renovations (which we can also arrange) including removal of the back wall where the old control box was. So our job was to locate the solenoid valves, install the controller elsewhere and rerun the retic wiring from the new controller location to the valves.
Locating Solenoids – Found them in a nearby garden with a Master valve plumbed in off a back garden tap. The front ones were similarly near the front tap. Not so common but there was a Master valve at the front and rear both running off the same control box which is usually ok.
Wiring Circuit – The old wiring was a joke, running on top of the footpath for about 20 metres so we installed the Rainbird controller and an outdoor power point up the side, and ran two new 5 core cables in the roof. One to the rear one to the front. Some had to go under paving so we removed the brick pavers and ran the wiring in PVC conduit so it will never have to be dug up again and gel wire connectors for a water tight seal. There was no electricity to the house so the Electrician on site hooked up an inverter from his car to test everything.
Sprinklers all seemed to be working great and there are now no unsightly wires.
