I dont mean to complicate things but I have seen some crazy disasters from home do it yourself sprinkler systems.
I came home one time and the water pressure was so low I could hold my finger on it and stop it.
I ask several neighbors and they said yes it has been low for awhile several days.
Are you kidding me has anyone called and none of them had.
They gave me the run around about it being a high usage time and such rot.
They can also monitor my area with a computer and it said everything was okay.
Well that pressure is read on the up stream side of the regulator (PRV) not the down stream side it is broken.
It was 7 in the evening and I complained so much they sent the engineer out.
When he got to my house I had a gauge showing less than 5PSI.
All it took was for them to adjust the PRV up the street.
I have had to call several times on it and when I call someone is there in less than 30 minutes most of the time.
