Guys,

Seems like I have a bad valve on this one zone.

Hate to jump to conclusions: What else can cause this problem?

TIA,

Rog Smith

Are you referring to sprinkler zones?

Replace the valve, it may have dirt inside, or could be defective.

Broken line, but should be easy to spot as water boils out of ground.
Kinked line - rare, but possible.
Does valve have a manual shutoff that is not totally open?

Just a few "What else" that comes to mind.

Folks,

System pressure was marginally too low. Bumped static pressure from 40 to 46 psi. Seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks to all
