I've got a valve that makes a loud clacking/buzzing noise when it is activated. It sounds like someone is banging the pipes in our basement. Also, the pressure is reduced on this station, and it is submerged in water when it operates. 1. Is this because there is a clog, a leak, a bad valve...

We moved into this house three years ago. This season, two heads aren't getting enough water, and because they are pop-ups they are just dribbling water onto the sidewalk. I tested our water pressure with a milk jug and we are getting nine gallons per minute. There are 13 sprinklers attached...
