I just fixed & replaced 3 side dripper (feeder) Retic pipes (plus drippers) - to replace/ fix what the Cowboy Gardening Guys slashed to pieces with their whipper snippers.
Also to stop up the holes, where the water was spurting out (6 feet high in air).
That's 7 Retic pipe holes/ slashed (missing) side pipes fixed in 2 days.
Now I hope I can finally get the water pressure up high enough (without so many leaks) - to run the system.
I keep on finding more bits missing, so I'm sure that there will be more leaks (that I don't know about).
These guys must know that they've done it (when they do it) - it's pretty obvious, when a retic feeder pipe goes flying up in the air (from Whipper snipper).
The thing is that when I don't see them damaging the retic, which I don't usually (because I don't watch them) - they always just leave without saying or admitting anything.
Then I find the damaged pipes, after they've left.
It takes me far longer to diagnose find & repair the damage (if it is in fact fixable) - than the 5 minutes that it took them to slash those holes & pipes off.
