How a lawn sprinkler system works

Follow the water from the backflow preventer through the valves, buried pipes and heads to the lawn, then see what a broken head and a clogged nozzle look like and how to spot them.

Hands-on practice

Diagnose a lawn sprinkler zone

You are a landscape technician on a service call. The customer says the lawn looks patchy and water is shooting out of the ground in one zone. Work through the system from the water source to the heads.

Click the Practice button in the player. You click parts in the 3D model and make the calls a technician would, with hints, feedback and a star score. Inside SOPpal, finishing a task earns XP.

Training your crew with simulations like this

SOPpal pairs 3D simulations with lessons, quizzes, XP and tracking, so technicians see how a system works and you see who has finished. The training library covers HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing and seven more trades.
