Valves & Reliability

Rain Bird DV Series Valve (incl. MV scenarios)

One of the most common valve platforms in the field. Many DV-series issues are debris, diaphragm wear, solenoid problems, or wiring faults.

Serviceable rebuilds Wiring diagnostics Clean valve boxes MV discipline

Symptoms we see often

  • Zone won't turn on
  • Zone won't shut off / weeping / running continuously
  • Low flow on a zone
  • Master valve (MV) issues affecting all zones (see: DV100 master valve notes)

Master valve standard: for MV retrofits in SRMS-style systems, we often standardize on DV100 for serviceability (field notes: Why we use Rain Bird DV100 for master valves).

Repair paths we're prepared for

  • Diaphragm cleaning/replacement (debris and wear)
  • Solenoid replacement
  • Valve rebuild vs. full valve replacement
  • Wiring diagnostics (common cause of “won’t turn on”)
Reliability note: Pressure discipline (PRVs) and clean wiring/closures are two high-impact upgrades for valve longevity.

Availability

We confirm fit and compatibility during service and can supply or install owner-supplied hardware.
