IF YOU SUSPECT THAT YOU HAVE A LEAK -WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO DIG? BY THE SPRINKLERS THAT HAVE THE LEAST PRESSURE OR THE ONE WITH THE MOST WATER COMING OUT?

The one with the most water coming out. Does it shoot out far, or just a lot of water, but not shooting very far? If so, then a nozzle might have just popped out.

Let me know,

Hey,
I would check after the head with the most water. If you have heads properly irrigating on the line and then some further down thats not, you mite not have a leak but a kinked or clogged pipe. If there is aleak i would run your zones for a long period of time and look to see if there is excessive wet spots or puddling on yopur lawn,,,because mostly all leaks run out onto the surface of the lawn................let me know what you think!!

When you turn on the system, the head with the less water coming out, is there standing water on the lawn around it? Can you see it flowing up?

Most Likley if there is a leak the water bubbles on the top of the lawn, or you can definatly notice some abnormal amount of water around the head!!
