Title: Golf Course Irrigation
Post by: Bayou Bengal on March 22, 2026, 10:02:34 AM
I have a golf course irrigation system with 2 pumps and a cycle stop setup for each.  My issue is one of my pumps (15hp) is putting too much pressure on the header causing the system to trip.  I have adjusted the regulator in both directions but have no control of the pressure.  This system was installed by a contractor in 2011 and this is the first time we have had this trouble.  Only knowledge I have of any of this is what I "think" I have figured out.  The bladder and spring appear to be in great condition.  No holes or wear spots. Spring is still strong.  Could the regulator be my problem?  I am leaning to this because I get no reaction from pressure gauge when I open or close back on the regulator.  Using CSV 3 B 150 regulator.

Thanks in advance for any help.
