Irrigation - 1 station not running

Question
Hi, Last summer all stations where working fine. This summer 1 station will not run. I have changed the solenoid. When I remove the solenoid and turn the system on, water comes out of the valve. I noticed that if I turn the station on at the controller, then quickly move the controller to the next station (station 3 and 4 both show on the controller screen) then the station that wont work will work, although low water pressure as two stations are running at once. I hope that isnt all to much gibberish! :-) Appreciate any advice.
Answer
Hey Kathy, I hope this helps. It sounds like you need to replace the diaphram in the valve. This is a fairly easy job, and you could do it yourself. You just need to know which brand valve you have (Rainbird, Toro, etc) what size valve you have (probably 1" ) and what model # valve you have. A good website that shows how to replace a diaphram is www.irrigationtutorials.com. Let me know if I can help you anymore, thanks and have a great day.
