Is Toro 690 sprinkler stem fixable?
90% of the time it is a broken stem that needs to be repaired on the 690 toro sprinkler system. For most people this results in them throwing the enitre sprinkler away and buying a new one. Usually this runs you around $200 (give or take) per sprinkler. Now there is a company http://www.690torosprinkler.com that makes replacement stems for the 690 series toro sprinkler systems. They usually run for $25 each. These stems replace the broken stem eliminating the need to buy an entire sprinkler. Considering the fact that there are MILLIONS of these 690 series toro sprinklers in the ground (in at minimum hundreds of golf courses and parks across North and South America) this in turn will save the golf course a ton of money seeing as how these things get broken easily on a monthly basis. Once they give that replacement stem a try… I have seen them being used on golf courses consistently after that. Way better alternative and without a doubt more cost effective.
