Your sprinkler system might not turn on due to power issues, a faulty controller, or wiring problems. Check if the controller has power and is set to the correct time and date. Make sure the water supply is open. A tripped breaker or blown fuse can also stop the system. If only one zone won’t turn on, the problem could be a bad solenoid or valve.

Low water pressure in your sprinkler heads can be caused by a partially closed main valve, clogged nozzles, or a leak in the line. Too many zones running at once can also reduce pressure. Check for visible leaks or soggy spots in the yard. Clean or replace clogged heads and make sure valves are fully open.

Your sprinkler timer might not be working due to a power outage, dead backup battery, or internal electrical fault. Check if the display is on and the settings are correct. If it's unresponsive or resets often, replace the battery or consider replacing the timer.

Leaking sprinkler heads often mean there’s debris in the valve, a worn-out seal, or low-head drainage. If the leak happens when the system is off, water may be draining from higher elevation zones. Check for dirt around the seal or cracks in the head. Replace damaged parts or install check valves to stop the drainage.

If one zone is stuck on, the valve may be stuck open due to debris or a bad solenoid. If it's stuck off, the valve might not be getting power or the solenoid could have failed. Check the wiring at the controller and the valve. You can also try manually opening the valve to see if water flows. Replace the valve or solenoid if needed.

Water pooling in one area of your yard can be caused by a leaking pipe, a broken sprinkler head, or poor drainage. Run each zone separately to find the source. Look for a head that's spraying too much or not shutting off. If the pooling happens even when the system is off, it could be low-head drainage or a valve that isn't closing fully.
