Cincy Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Looks like I need to replace some of the spray nozzles in the sprinkler system. Can anyone suggest a good place to buy in the local Ajijic, SAT, Chapala area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowyela Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just a few days ago someone mentioned where rainbird parts could be found - just do a site search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 If you are willing to go to Joco...the fruit field supply outlets at the exit out of town carry parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I found rainbird parts at a landscape place in Ajijic. Take Revolution to the top where it ends, turn right and go for several blocks, store is on the left. Only open in the mornings after 9AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 In SAT. Main street on the corner is a hardware store next to Handyman/Handy Mail and across the side street from I shop. Bought many different sprinkler heads there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I thought there was a rainbird dealer in west Ajijic, mountainside, past Casa de Waffle, if I recall close to Aceros Ocotlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediately west of the Autobody Shop as the parking lot ends. I believe the sign says Garden Centre. You have to ask at the counter for the parts and they will order for you if they don't have what you need. The hard water is brutal on the sprinkler heads and I did have some success soaking them in vinegar. The ones that have been whipped to death by string trimmers have to be replaced.

hammerhead Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Ferret, I love the "whipped to death" comment as it is for sure true. However I just seen a recent solution to the whipping. Around each sprinkler head was installed a piece of 3 inch PVC pipe where the head is protected against the wicked whipper and lawn mower where the gardener does not see the head. Simple, cheap and effective. Each piece of PVC #40 might be no more then 4 inches, 2 or 3 below ground, I inch above. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincy's Wife Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 This is the garden center / Rain Bird store in upper Ajijic that Maincoons mentioned in an earlier post... Prolongación Lázaro Cárdenas 52, Ajijic Huge array of Rain Bird products along with everything else required in a sprinkler system (hoses, tubes, screw fittings, elbows, unions, etc) Thank you Maincoons!
