This spring I noticed a bend in one of my Iowa frost free hyrants, when I turned it on water shoots out of a 6 inch long split in the pipe. The split is about a foot below the head of the hyrant. I was able to turn it off okay. The idea of digging up the hyrant which if I remember is at least down 3 to 4 feet is not too appealing. Has anyone ever delt with this problem before? Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
