Comment on Vigoro 3015V Sprinkler Timer Internals and Valve Design by JonC.

Vigoro 3015V Sprinkler Timer Internals and Valve DesignHello Ferdinand, thank you for the positive feedback! This unit hadn’t actually failed for me. I replaced it with a Orbit 4 Zone Watering System (The blue one in the other article) and that has been working out great for me. I felt it was worth showing what is inside these devices we trust our lawns and plants to. The Orbit uses the ball valves as well I believe, I am going to ‘open up’ one of the valves to see how it works. The valve I removed from the 3015V is not going to waste however, I will probably re-purpose it for water cooling on one of my laser project (http://www.thaltech.com/laserblog) which I’ve been meaning to get back to work on.

In looking at this Vigoro valve, I don’t see a lot that could go wrong from it unless it had an electrical failure. The gears are fairly durable and the fact that it’s only a pin that moves in and out to activate the valve minimize physical stresses just down mostly to that pin. If you find out what has happened with your Vigoro, please post back, I am curious in hearing.
