What is the street pressure, what size is the pipe, what is the temperature ? does it freeze?, is the regulator before irrigation? is irrigation automatic? is there an RP backflow device before the regulator? do you have small leaks that are after the regulator? what make and model are you using? sounds like a cheaper unit.
