What happens here

After safely opening the main irrigation water valve and bleeding air from the system, the next step is to activate the sprinkler system to confirm the location and nature of the leak. The user approaches the sprinkler control panel, which is identified as a Hunter STB 2.0 model, and sets all zones to run for two minutes. This ensures that water flows through all parts of the system, allowing the leak to become visible. The video then cuts to the specific sprinkler head observed earlier, clearly showing water spraying horizontally from its base, confirming a significant leak that needs repair.

Goal: Confirm the exact location of the sprinkler leak.
