Hi guys,i've been putting this off.the cap of the vacuum breaker of the anti siphon valve (say that five times really fast!) has been leaking for a while. But, it can leak when its inner parts face some issues The anti siphon valve is an essential component of a sprinkler system, designed to prevent backflow and siphoning of water into the potable water supply

When a leak occurs in the valve, it can lead to a range of issues, including contaminated water, increased water bills, and damage to the sprinkler system.
This would prevent the valve from sealing completely
The cap can easily be removed by twisting counterclockwise to inspect the internal poppet area Another reason is the valve may be installed at the same level or lower than the highest head within that zone How do i know if my sprinkler valve is bad Tips for rebuild w/ repair kit or replacement
