Fixing a leaking sprinkler (anti siphon valve)

hey guys I'm out here fixing my sprinklers today the sprinklers behind me I just turned on to show you but every time it's on you could see water is kind of just pouring out some right here so I'll just try to remove this whole thing and then replace it so I'm gonna turn off the sprinklers and see if I could get that removed okay this right down here and I'm gonna try to just twist this off I'm afraid I'm gonna break more than just the top the whole thing seems to be moving why it's on here so tight good all these tools here to see fine just an easy way to start taking things apart these will just come I wonder if these are just glued on [Music] so I just had it to hold on to this bottom so it doesn't move so I'm gonna head out to see if I could get a replacement one of these things I'll bring both of these pieces with me just so I can measure it out make sure I get the right part okay so I'm back I ended up having to buy this whole thing because they don't sell just the Capitals bet if you were to scour the internet I'll just save the rest because I have these all our own not all around the house I also have them in the front yard for the sprinklers there so I'm just gonna grab let's see if I can use this to take this off put it in okay so I'm here pretty tight which doesn't even make sense it's way harder than it should have been I just went over there and screw it back on tightening and then I'll turn on the springs I'm just gonna go turn on this so the sprinklers are on if you can see so for 20 for 20 bucks for this entire thing I was able to fix that leak so you guys don't call a plumber that buddy charge you 100 bucks right such a simple fix that will cost you 20 bucks plus you get extra cards and that was probably I don't know with going to Home Depot 30 30 minutes of work so definitely you guys give it a try
