A Rochester Hills homeowner reported a sprinkler zone that chattered loudly and sprayed weakly. Measurements showed the valve wasn’t bad — the zone demand exceeded supply PSI. Splitting the zone and stabilizing pressure solved the issue.
When every zone in a Birmingham, MI system had weak spray and heads barely rose, we traced the issue upstream. Tests confirmed that the pressure drop occurred at the backflow preventer — debris and regulator wear caused a system-wide loss of PSI.
A Livonia sprinkler system sprayed fine mist instead of droplets. Tests showed excessive pressure — over 75 PSI at the heads — causing atomization, wind drift, and wasted water. Installing pressure-regulated heads and a main regulator restored coverage and saved water.
