But the valve with the smaller number of heads won't leak if i turn it off and the other on I am attaching a pic with the part circled in red to indicate where the leak is coming from When the sprinkler controller turns off the valve (rainbird asv), it leaks from the backflow preventer of the valve (approx 16 oz) then stops

When we moved to the new place few months ago, most of sprinkler valves were old and leaking (whole system is 6 valves)
Yesterday, i replaced all new 6 valves Ask your do it yourself plumbing questions and get free answers as well as diy information about faucets, toilets, pumps and water filters from plumbers at plbg.com Tonight after i manually turned on one of my sprinkler zones for few minutes and after it was done i noticed that water was continuously leaking from the underneath the cap of the anti siphon valve.
