There is a zone in my sprinkler system that will not shut off, how can I fix this?
gpt
It sounds like the sprinkler valve that is for that zone is not closing properly, you may need to flush that valve out.

How do I flush a sprinkler valve out?

Do the sprinkler valves have what is called a "bleed screw?"
human
Yes.

You are going to have to first turn the water off that goes to the sprinkler system and then turn the valve off. After that, you'll need to rotate the bleed screw one rotation counterclockwise and then go and turn the water back on. Once that is done, turn the valve back on and let the water go for a few minutes and then shut the valve off. Try turning your sprinklers on again and see if that worked.
