Hydrotek 6000 Valve Seepage: Diaphragm Debris or Damage

Hydrotek 6000 (4 zones) seeps at valve cover and heads when off, runs fine when on. Valve not sealing fully—debris or torn diaphragm.

Fix

  1. Shut off water.
  2. Remove valve bonnet (top screws).
  3. Clean all debris from body, seat, diaphragm.
  4. Inspect diaphragm for tears/holes. Replace if any.
  5. Reassemble, test.

Don't Forget

Clean under the solenoid—tiny port there clogs easily.

Not hard. $10 diaphragm, 30 minutes. Fixes seepage.
