ynot Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yeah I was awoken by the wife at 6:30 this morning and told we had a waterfall going outside. Apparently the anti siphon valve blew apart. Must have happened late last night before the pool equiptment turned on and would have had water running through it. So it was a search for the part and yeah Star nursery was the only place in town that had the part. You should have seen all the people wandering around Lowes plumbing dept with broken parts in their hands. Thanks to Walter for all the help!!
