The Chat-R-Box:
A Revolutionary way for Locating Valves
The Chat-R-Box has revolutionized the way you locate lost or hidden valves in your lawn irrigation system. With our cutting-edge technology, this innovative device will save you valuable time and money by swiftly and accurately pinpointing the location of your hidden lawn valves. Say goodbye to the frustrating and time-consuming task of manually searching for buried valves.
The Chat-R-Box was invented in the HOT Texas summer of 2013. A portion of my yard had turned brown and I figured it must be something wrong with a lawn valve. For the next 2 weeks before and after work, when it was not as HOT, I poked the ground in numerous locations, dug holes with a sharp shooter shovel leaving "goffer" holes all over the yard.
I searched and searched the internet for answers. I found my options were either pay an irrigation tech ($1250-$150/hour x 2 hours = $250-$300 minimum) or buy a very expensive valve locator ($800-$1,000).
Being a DIY'er anda background in electronics I realized I could use a circuit which would make the valve(solenoid) chatter. I assembled a prototype from parts from a previous project then I tested my creation, and it worked.
After having seen many different blog post with others experiencing the same problem. I designed a small box for the circut and made the instructions simple (K.I.S.S). I made a small test batch to sell on the internet and the rest is history.
