I always try to shop local when I can but sometimes seldom needed parts are not in my local hardware store. I found Sprinkler Supply via a web search after looking at several online sprinkler supply centers. The Sprinkler Supply website was so nice looking, well laid out, and great images of their inventory I selected them to place my order with. All of my requested parts were so seldom used they needed to backorder them from the manufacture. I received a nice email letting me know that my request was on backorder and I could click on a link to have my order shipped without the back ordered items or simply wait to have all the items shipped at one time. Sprinkler Supply has a great web page and is now my go to site for all my home garden sprinkler needs.
