sprinklers not working--no water
Just moved into a house with existing Rain Bird system in place. However, the previous owner apparently forgot to flush the system during the winter, which busted the pvc pipe on the backflow preventer on the side of the sprinklers. I fixed the pipe and tested at the controller without success. See it counting down, but none of the sprinklers came on. I am a new homeowner, so I'm hoping the fix is just a main irrigation valve that I have yet to locate. My reasoning for this is that at the backflow preventor (U-shaped thing that sticks out of the ground for me) doesn't have any water coming out of the side from the house. I've even checked the control valve boxes and it sounds like the solenoids have current running through them (slight humming when you get close enough). Also looked at the water meter at the curb, the box is full of rain water (I assume), but I don't specifically see any valves coming off of it to signify a irrigation master valve. Is there any other common place I should be looking?
Btw, I have water in the house so I know that the service line from the water meter is on. I also have water coming through each of the 3 spickets/faucets surrounding the outside of my house.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
