Default What are my options for fixing this chewed up drip irrigation setup?

Is the pump only for the irrigation lines?


Nope. There are two systems, separated by a huge backflow preventer
valve which pops up out of the ground in a reverse-U shape.

The first branch of well water feeds the irrigation and fire suppression
system; and then the second branch feeds the house.


Your system is unique.

I suspect you want to keep high pressure on the line for fire
suppression. Adjust the irrigation lines at the valve control box.
