Sprinkler Zone Low pressure

I have a 6 zone system and all zones are working fine except for zone 6 where the pressure is extremely low. The system was installed before I bought the home so I am am not sure where to start trouble shooting.

sprinkler zone low pressure

1) Check for leaks on the sprinkler head side of the valve.
2) Pull the top of the valve off, check the condition of the diaphragm, and check under the diaphragm for dirt and sediment
3) Check the heads for dirt and sediment.

as roorancher said, your 2 most likely culprits are:

1. a leak somewhere in that zone.

2. a valve that is not opening all the way.

If its not one of those two, it starts to get more complicated.
