Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a strange problem I was having: every time I turn the sprinklers on, and also when they change zones, the pipes in the attic shake quite loudly. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Hello, it sounds like you have a water hammer issue. Water hammer is created when the velocity in water is suddenly changed.
You can mitigate the effects of water hammer by using a devise called a water hammer arrestor. You can find them at places like sprinkler.com

Hope this helps
