Why does my spray head stay up after the system shuts down?

Here are some common reasons why a pop-up sprinkler may stay stuck up:

• debris in the pop up body
• the riser is damaged
• or the riser seal is worn

To fix this:

1. unscrew the body cap
2. pull out the sprinkler assembly
3. examine the parts
4. clean out debris
5. replace parts if necessary
