Hi, I recently have to replace a valve surrounded by my sprinkler system because it burst during the Winter. Now I've finally got the spigot fixed and welded and everything is upright to go. but when I run the sprinkler, everything seem fine except that water starts padding up in the green control box and my sprinklers bring back very little pressure.
If anybody know the solution to this problem, please let me know. or if anyone know why this may be happening at adjectives.
Answers: If it got cold adequate to burst a valve it is probable that it also burst one or more of the lines feeding your zone. The box is flooding because the "path of tiniest resistance" for the leaking wet is to follow the trench the pipe is laid in. If just one zone has low pressure explicitly probably the line that wishes to be dug up and repaired or replaced. Start at the valve come to an end because the leak is expected to be near the spout. If the pipe was burst deeply far from the box it is more likely the hose would be bubbling up through your lawn as economically as (or instead of) flooding the box.

U did not fix the connections. It seems that the section to ur valve is not leak, but when u have it on, it leak. So, the part where on earth the water after ur spout going to the spray heads is leak. Therefore, u have to trace the leach from the valve (outlet part) and the pipe to the springler. Most promising, the pipe needs attention. That's why u own no pressure. Stick ur hand surrounded by the green control box and feel for river flow and u will find where the dribble is AFTER THE WATER IS ON>
