I replaced one of my sprinkler head and my problem is that water
constantly leaks from the head even when it is not spraying. I tried
cleaning around the threads, etc and screw it back on but the leak
does not stop. Is it a faulty head, or something I am doing wrong?

Two possibilities that I can think of - the head in question is the last
one on the zone, downhill from others, and water drains from the pipe
after it is shut off. o/w, I'm trying to remember...dirt in the
solenoid in the valve, or just a bad solenoid? So long ago, hard to
remember, and I was just the helper holding tools whilst hubby was down
in the hole :o)

Is this a fire control sprinkler or a plant watering sprinkler?

Depends where it's leaking from. If it's the thread/nipple
connection, use some Teflon tape and see if it fixes it.

I'm talking lawn system here, but if the zone control valve turns off
the zone should not constantly have water for a leak... :)
