Sprinkler / Irrigation System, Low Pressure Troubleshooting.

Thanks for a video taking apart a sprinkler! My preschool son is very interested in how they come apart and work!

Blue Filter for VAN Variable Arc Nozzles & Clear Filter for MPR ( Fixed Nozzles )

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

Good to know. These are variable fan nozels.

[@timeTravellin]

Great video. I would have just bought another one, thanks for the tip.

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

No problem. I'm glad it helped.

Thanks great video

[@dreamstate207]

Thank you.

[@bryans1000]

Thank You!

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

No problem!

[@AddisonKramlich]

if the leak is at the top, couldnt you unscrew the top part instead of digging up the whole thing?

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

You can. I just didn't want to risk the chance of dirt getting back into the sprinkler.

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

You may not have enough water pressure. Is the sprinkler head popping all the way up?

[@tsegaia2909]

@@AmericaOutdoors1 Yes ,

[@arnoldrodriguez3803]

So I have 11 zones in my system. System comes in fine and works great until it reaches zone # 8. At that point pressure drops dramatically and only a small stream comes from one or two of that zones heads. If I move to my well pump and crack the bleeder on the impeller housing, air bubbles will come out and within a minute or two the zone will pressurize and come to life. The system will then finish off the watering cycle. Next day this same problem will repeat. What might I check in my system? Thanks

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

I am no professional, but have you tried to manually open the sprinkler valve? There may be some rocks that got stuck in the diaphragm. Also maybe clean all of the sprinkler heads to make sure they close all the way when finished. Have you tried to use zone 8 shortly after it finished maybe like 30min or an hr afterwards. The air bubbles coming off the pump indicates that air is getting into the system from somewhere.

@@AmericaOutdoors1 thank you for the advice. I’ll check the sprinkler heads and the valve today.

So annoying thanks for helping but i think im screwed i just have low water pressure at my house

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

Here are two things to try. Take the head off the last sprinkler to check for pressure. If you have low pressure you an turn off a few sprinklers until you get enough pressure out of the ones that are still open. Also if you are on a city reclaim water you can call the city and have them test their side of the main cutoff valve to make sure they are supplying you adequate pressure. During the hot days some city's do not have the capacity to keep up with all of the new developments, so they will cut off some neighborhoods of certain days

[@sethi100]

Me too. I don’t have a filter to check. Just water coming from the city into my system. I have checked each of my sprinklers to see if clogged- nope.

[@AmericaOutdoors1]

Ask the city to confirm the water pressure at your main valve box.
