SPRINKLER TALK FORUM - You Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Hi!
I just bought a house and was trying to get the sprinkler system to work. I can turn on the main valve and 1 set of sprinklers turn on. However I can't get the the other ones to work. I found 2 valves but they have no electrical connection to a control box. I tried to manually turn on the other valve but nothing happens. I can hear water moving around in the valve but there is NO water getting to the sprinklers. Is this a valve problem or a sprinkler problem? Thanks.

I was able to get both valves working by taking them apart and cleaning them out. They had some dirt in them. I then swapped the parts from one to the other. Now everything works. I then found out that I had a break in the pipe (I think somebody drove over the sprinkler head). Oh well.
