Low Pressure & Coverage Repairs

System-wide low pressure, single zone issues, and dry spots

3 repair guides

Overall Low Pressure (All Zones)

Moderate

If every zone has low pressure, the problem is upstream of the valves — check the water supply, backflow preventer, master valve, or main line for restrictions.

30-60 minutes1 parts needed

Low Pressure on One Zone

Moderate

If only one zone has low pressure while others are fine, the problem is isolated to that zone — a partially open valve, a lateral leak, or too many heads on the zone.

30-60 minutes2 parts needed

Dry Spots in the Lawn

Easy

Dry spots are usually caused by head-to-head spacing gaps, clogged nozzles reducing throw, or heads that have shifted direction. Adjustments are usually all that's needed.
