[quote=Anonymous]I'm a new homeowner and my yard has sprinkler system with 10 zones. I'm trying to figure out safely how to turn this on and hopefully not spend a 150 dollars for a professional to turn it on. All I see are three boxes in the ground wherein two of the boxes I think contain valves (one box is for the front and one box for the back yard). There is one main box in the front with a green cover that contains only a main water line i guess with only a single turn valve. Do I just have to turn this parallel and my sprinkler system is on? I keep seeing on youtube about backflow preventer and vacuum breakers but my system does not have any above ground structures. The house was built in 2001 so maybe it wasnt required back then? I see people with flathead screwdrivers turning ball valves but i dont see anything like that on my system. Is it simply just turning one valve and the sprinkler system is on for the spring? Thanks.[/quote]
