    Is your sprinkler system connected to your house's water supply, or does it have its own well and pump?

    The sprinkler system is coccected to the hose before the regulator.
    And also the high pressure hose bibe has low pressure .

    Be sure that if you used your main shut off valve when installing your tank that it is open all the way.

    Hi!

    Thank you for the response.

    The main shout off valve is on all the way.

    I have checked the neighbor hose bib for pressure and he had good pressure.

    Is it possible the city valve (meter) is no good?

    Hi Nathan,

    How's the house pressure? Is it down also or just your sprinkler system? Let me know. I may just have a idea what's happened. Tom

    Well that eliminates the PRV.(Pressure Regulator Valve) Call the water department and ask for a pressure test before and after the meter. This might not be your problem at all. Regards, Tom
