Can anyone help me out with identifying problem?!
I bought this home a few years ago and had a huge leak at the valve box with 2 zones recently. The leak was when zone 2 turned on, and would cause the valve box to overflow within 30 seconds... but the zone was still getting water flow.
I was able to find the main leak and fixed the ghetto rigged job someone had done years before I bought the house. While I was digging out the dirt to find the leak source I found a random clipped electrical wire coming through the dirt towards the valve box, and at this point zone 2 was still working even with the leak. I repaired the connection that had come loose, and that fixed the main leak....but now zone 2 doesn't get ANY water.
I dug a bit further out trying to find the source of the wire and then found a random white PVC pipe not connected to anything. I'm stumped because it wasn't even visible when I repaired the leaking line, and I didn't find any extra hose pieces or junctions in the box that could've come loose, unless the leak buried them and I just haven't found them yet. I still obviously have a leak somewhere else but I'll get to that after I get zone 2 working again.
So my questions are: Is this the white PVC the source feeding zone 2? And what could the random clipped electrical wire be since zone 2 was still working when I first found it hanging out of the dirt.
Before I fixed leak, when zone 2 still worked
