The city lowered the water pressure a while back, and now my sprinkler system's first station doesn't work too well. The rest are okay. The problem is, the guy who installed them made station one too big. A quick estimate is that there are 25 heads on this single station! That's crazy. The second station only has 7, and the rest are in that ballpark.

How easy is it to break up a station? I'd like to make at least three stations out of it. I don't even know what would be involved, as the control boxes are buried and I haven't dug them up to refresh my memory of what it even looks like down there.

Will add that when he put these things in, the pressure was high enough that station one was okay, but not great. Now, most of them don't even come up, and the rest are weak.
