This video shows how to use the valve bleed screw to solve a leaky sprinkler problem. Try this tip before replacing a residential valve that leaks.

Sometimes sprinklers continue to water a little even after the irrigation controller has turned off. One reason this could happen is if there is debris that has been caught in the valve and the valve can't close all the way. Using the bleed screw to open the valve all the way could flush the debris out and the sprinklers could shut off properly.
