A single head can sometimes get clogged with silt, dramatically reducing its flow. Its easy to remove the nozzle from the head and run the single sprinkler circuit to flush it out.

If there is a bush near the first non operable pop-up, my concern would be that the bush's roots have cut into the line. I would check that out first.

Subject: [DIY] Re: Identifying sprinkler circuit after tree removal destroyed someFinally got around to testing this past week. Since all of my plumbing issues over the past year have ended in disaster, I just want to sanity check here -- I am pretty sure circuit 2 is safe to use and circuit 1 has the cut line.
When activated, circuit 1 came out at half pressure at best.
When activated, circuit 2 seemed totally normal. My only uncertainty is that there is a head that is buried behind a push and I couldn't see it, though all of the ones leading up to it popped fine and sprayed at full pressure.
So, going by this, is it safe to say that I can still use circuit 2 without digging up around the line to check? And just cap off the line for circuit 1 at the final half-pressure head?
Thanks!
