When you suggest changing out the sprinkler valve for piston valves do you have a specific type in mind? Model, manufacturer, design etc. Thanks in advance.

Look around the house and be creative :P

The most random things can be turned into a good piston..
reinforced soup cans, pvc endcaps, or make one out of washers, O-rings, and a piece of threaded rod.

If you lack the technical ability to construct one... You're trying too hard :D

Mr Crowley's VAL used a deodorant can piston. You use deodorant, right? ;)
