LOW PRESSURE

 

#1 first check all mainline valves (master shutoff, backflow valve, electric master valve make sure these are

fully open and functioning properly)

                                                   

#2 check for a leak on the mainline or lateral line

 

#3 check flow control valves, make sure flow control is fully open

 

#4  check main water meter valve, make sure it is fully open

 

#5 run the zone in question and while the zone is running,  use a water PSI meter, hook it up to and

external water source on the house.  If the pressure is below the minimum operating range for

the sprinklers,  there are too many heads on the particular zone

 

#6 this is a longshot but I have seen it,  there may be a restriction at the main connection point of the

sprinkler system to the service line of the house.
