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.

Piston valves are homemade... So the manufacturer would be YOU!

Ok what about those of us that do not have access to a lathe or technical ability to construct one?

Look around the house and be creative
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
Mr Crowley's VAL used a deodorant can piston. You use deodorant, right?
