Low Pressure , Maybe a Leak?
I have a 10 Station County Irrigation system . The system was not blown out over the winter. There are 4-5 heads per line and all lines are engaging, but there is little or no pressure. I have valves on either side of the driveway. On one side the pressure seems fine and on the other side I have little or no pressure. I have left each zone on overnight to see if a leak would appear and have found nothing but leaky sprinkler heads where the pop-ups come out of the sleave. Is there a way to find a leak or flush the system? Do I take the heads out and let the water flush the lines?
Russ
there is probably a restriction or kink in the line leading to the low pressure manifold. rerun the supply to it.

You mean dig the supply line up from the main and replace it?
Russ
yes rerun the line from the supply to the manfold in question unless you can find a leak. if all the valves in the one manifold have low pressure, then the line to that manifold is bad. so rerun it.
Thanks, There was a giant root growing through the PVC and pinching the poly tube. Problem solved.
