Hello All,
Question for the more irrigation literate. I removed two drip systems in my parkway approx 5 months ago. I essentially installed standard pop up sprinklers to water grass now in the same area. All the drip line is removed and replaced with 1/2" PVC line cut and glued to the existing supply line that was in place. I have two separate parkways both with three small risers coming from the newly installed PVC after the drip removal. Initially I had water flowing with no issues on one side. Then very shortly after completing the second parkway, I noticed I no longer receive water on the other parkway. I have been banging my head against the wall for months and hand watering the Un-watered parkway for months....like a moron! I was speaking to a guy this evening about pressure reducers. Is it possible that my valves controlling these areas are not flowing because of pressure reducers and now larger piping installation? Is it possible that if I remove the pressure reducers I can regain irrigation to these areas? Any input is welcome please...Thank you!
