Frequently Asked Questions

What does Conservco make?
Conservco offers siphon pumps for removing water from sprinklers and valve boxes, hose bibb locks that guard outdoor faucets against unauthorized use, and a drip irrigation adapter that stops flow to a broken sprinkler.

How do I choose the right size or type?
Match the thread size on your outdoor faucet or hose bibb, which is 3/4 in. hose thread for the hose bibb locks. For the drip adapter, check the 3/4 in. threaded size on your existing riser or fitting. Measure before ordering and match the size on your old part.

Should I choose a lock with a padlock?
The DSL-2 version includes a padlock, while the DSL-1 does not. Choose the version with a padlock if you want the lock to be secured in place. Check the other parts of your outdoor water setup to confirm the hose thread matches.
