How do you adjust a Toro sprinkler valve?
How do you adjust a Toro sprinkler valve?
Flow Control Adjustment: With the valve operating, use a small screwdriver to turn the flow control screw clockwise to decrease flow or counterclockwise to increase flow. Note: The flow control screw requires approximately seven turns to adjust from maximum to minimum flow.
What should I do if my Toro sprinkler system is not working?
Using a central control, you can program the timer to electronically open or close valves to send water to specific zones within your irrigation system at scheduled times. If your Toro sprinkler timer is not working properly, some simple troubleshooting steps may identify and help resolve the problem.
How does the irrigation system work in Toro?
Each valve is connected to a numbered terminal within the controller, identifying it as Station 1, Station 2, etc. The controller operates the valves in order, one at a time. In other words, one station would water completely before another station would turn on. This is called a watering cycle.
Is there a problem with my water sprinkler system?
No. Water will drain through the lowest head until the pipe empties. If the seepage does not stop, the problem is with the valve that controls that sprinkler zone. The problem could be as simple as a small piece of debris inside the valve.
What to do if zone sprinkler is not running?
Turn off all but one start time for each zone if the timer turns zone sprinklers on at multiple, unexpected times. Clean out any valve that will not close after a run time has ended. Remove any debris that prevents it from closing. Replace the solenoid if the valve continues to remain open.

What should the spacing be for Toro sprinklers?
For example, if you are using Toro 570™ sprinklers with a radius of 15’, place your sprinklers no more than 15’ apart – closer together if you are in a windy area . Tip: To make sure you have proper head-to-head spacing, use a compass to draw arcs representing sprinkler coverage, as shown in the diagram.

What to do if your irrigation system stops working?
Probably not, but to make sure, pull the power cord from the wall, removing power from the controller. If the water continues to run, the problem is with the zone valve. If the water stops, the controller is at fault. Double-check the programming.
