Troubleshooting

Valve box is leaking water.

Check if the O-ring is correctly seated and not damaged. Ensure the connection piece and valve box are properly sealed together. Replace the O-ring if it appears worn or cracked.

O-ring won't fit properly.

Verify that you are using the correct Gardena Valve Box model (V1 or V3). Ensure no debris is obstructing the groove where the O-ring is placed.

Ensure the connection point is clean. A small amount of water or silicone lubricant can help the O-ring slide into place without deforming, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.
