Q:Â There is a shut-off valve outside my house on the water pipeline, but when I use it, I turn off both the irrigation line and the water line for the house at the same time. I donât want to turn off the irrigation when I go on trips; I just want to turn off the water to the house so there will be no leaks while Iâm away. What can I do about this issue?
A:Â You need to hire a plumber who can move the shut-off valve behind the vacuum blocker going into the house. It should be fairly easy to do.
