Wounded Sprinkler

Posted by Retired Geezer on September 6, 2007

I have no clue what happened to this sprinkler.

It looks like it got hit with a digging tool of some sort.

The hole goes through the outer case into the body.

Any guesses?

I’m thinking more of a gardening tool.
I ran across a mysterious leak in a PVC pipe a few weeks ago. Just a hole punched down in the top of the pipe, like someone drove a big nail into the pipe (which was buried about 8 inches). The clients had no clue as to how it got there. I repaired it and 3 days later they called me back with an identical hole about a foot away! What the heck? I asked them if they had recently pitched a tent, or put stakes in the ground to tie ropes to, to stabilize a tree. Suddenly it dawned on them that it was the Lawn Guy who used one of those Root Feeders to fertilize the tree.

Problem solved.
