First, remove the solenoid with the water on. Be careful, as this will allow the sprinklers on that zone to run. Allow the valve to flush for a few minutes and replace the solenoid. If still no success, we recommend purchasing a new valve and removing the bonnet, spring and diaphragm from the new valve and placing it onto the existing valve body leaving it in the existing piping. This effectively rebuilds the valve.
