Sprinkler stopped working..

Aug 16, 2004 1 Replies

My sprinkler system did a strange thing. Sprinkler draws from a lake, stopped working about 1 month ago, (house is cira '85), I replaced the intake pipe, the screen head, and the back flow valve. Pipe extends out about 20' and floats (attached to a duck float). All went well and the sprinkler was working fine for about 3 weeks. Then I notices a slow reduction in the amount of water coming out, unitl finally no more. I check all new connections, all is fine. Pulled the pump apart, impeller looks good, a couple of gaskets warped but nothing terrible. (intake head has screens to prevent unwanted items entering system)



Any ideas???
