![]() ![]() I adjusted it and it was leaking when off. I'm using the excavator next time.Īnyway I confirmed it was coming out the drain hole when on. I did fill it up with Gravel before covering it back up. ![]() So far it hasn't split like I was thinking it would.Īnd although the pics don't show it. The store was 30 miles away so wasn't gonna run back in just for the fitting and connected it all up. ![]() But I had picked up the female connector instead of the male connector. I didn't really want to use the female pvc connector to the galvanized. So I replaced it with a galvanized elbow as well as piece of 1ft long galvanized pipe. The friend who put them in had installed them with a pvc street elbow and it got broke. The pictures I've attached are pics I took back in 2010 of how I reinstalled it back in 2010. But finally got the darn thing working.Īnyway. I know just enough about coding websites to get by. The other template had some display problems including the bottom scroll bar. Had to code the billing software into the newly purchased template. I've been busy with my new web hosting company. If it were me, I wouldn't have bought these el cheapo hydrants.Ī friend of ours bought them at lowes and put them in a few years ago when he rented out the land for his fifth wheel camper. I'll just put that $20.00 along with a bit more for a quality hydrant. I don't think I'll throw any money at this cheap import of a hydrant. I looked up the repair kit and it's around $20.00 before taxes. Just gotta get some gas money for the excavator. Now that I got my excavator it won't be so bad digging it up. Only to find out all I had to do was adjust the handle up top. The last time I dug it up was by hand with a shovel. (Leaking out the hole when on) :confused2: I remember about a year ago the thing was leaking out the drain hole when the faucet was turned off. Maybe there's some sand or a small rock or something that's not allowing the rubber bulb to fully seal the drain hole when the faucets on?Īnother weird thing. If I still can't get the thing off I'll just wait until spring and just replace it with a better made in USA one. I may try to wedge one pipe wrench up against my truck and see if I can get it apart that way. I had my brother hold one pipe wrench with a cheater bar and I held another one with a cheater bar. I hadn't dug it up yet to find the definite problem as I was gonna just replace the 2 pro plumber hydrants with woodfords or simmons hydrants next spring. I'm thinking the darn plunger isn't sealing off the drain hole likes it's supposed to when it's on. The ground dries out when the hydrant is turned off. The water only starts bubbling up with the yard hydrant turned on. Water starts bubbling up again.Īnyone have this problem occur? It has to be with the hydrant itself right? I mean if it were the pipes leaking the water would continue to bubble up out of the ground. Then after the water goes down and the ground dries up. So I shut the hydrant off and the water goes back down. Well today while running the sprinkler to water some grass, I started noticing water bubbling up around the hydrant. I have one of those cheap import China Junk Pro plumber yard hydrants that's been in the ground nearly 2 years now. ![]()
