Carry out maintenance and repairs to a garden irrigation system.

$350

Griffith ACT, Australia

11th May 2025

I have an irrigation system that runs off two taps. One in the front yard and one in the backyard. The system in backyard has six stations running from an old upright garden tap. The line splits into six lines and solenoids. The manifold line is split and needs replacing. I would like to take the opportunity to reconfigure the inlet, removing the tap and creating a better manifold connection. It is currently very difficult to conduct maintenance like solenoid replacement, etc. The system runs off an automatic wi-fi timer that works very well.

Terrific tradesman.
