We repair Hunter sprinklers

ACRE repairs Hunter sprinkler and irrigation systems in Fresno and Clovis. That includes Hunter PGP, PGJ and PGV valves, Pro-Spray heads and Hunter rotors, MP Rotators, and Hunter X-Core and Pro-C controllers.

Common Hunter sprinkler problems

Hunter makes PGP and PGJ rotors, Pro-Spray and MP Rotator heads, PGV valves, and X-Core and Pro-C controllers. The problems we see most:

  • Zone not working: a Hunter zone that will not turn on, or one that works by hand but not on the schedule.
  • Stuck valve: a Hunter valve stuck open, or a solenoid that will not close.
  • Heads: a head that will not pop up, will not rotate, or leaks at the body.
  • Controllers: lost programs or a display with no response.

Hunter rotor and head repair

Rotors lose rotation to dirt or worn gears, and spray heads clog or crack. Many fixes are a new head or nozzle matched to the zone. See head replacement.

Hunter valve and controller repair

A solenoid that does not close, a worn diaphragm, or a bad splice can all keep a Hunter valve from working. If the controller is the cause, we repair or replace it and program your watering days. See controller repair.

Hunter valve repair: stuck on, leaking or not closing

Hunter PGV and other Hunter irrigation valves fail like any valve: debris, a worn diaphragm or a failing solenoid. Valves that leak, stay on or will not close can be rebuilt or replaced. See valve repair.

Hunter sprinkler head repair: PGP, PGJ and Pro-Spray

A Hunter head that does not rotate, will not pop up or leaks from the top usually has dirt, a worn gear or a worn seal. We repair or replace Hunter PGP and PGJ rotors and Pro-Spray heads and match the nozzle to the zone.

Hunter irrigation controller repair

A Hunter controller that will not turn on, lost its program or skips zones can have a power, wiring or valve problem. We repair or replace Hunter X-Core and Pro-C controllers and set the schedule.

Why is my Hunter Pro sprinkler head not rotating?

A Hunter Pro head that stalls is usually clogged with debris or has a worn gear. We service or replace the head.

Why is my Hunter sprinkler not rotating?

Check for dirt and a clogged nozzle first, then low pressure. If the head still will not turn, we replace it.

Why does my Hunter sprinkler not rotate in one zone?

If every head in the zone fails to turn, the cause is pressure or a partly closed valve. We check the valve and the line for a leak.

Why is my Hunter sprinkler head not rotating or leaking from the top?

A worn seal or debris under it lets water leak from the top of the head. We replace the head or its seal.

Why is my Hunter sprinkler controller not turning on?

A Hunter controller that is blank has a power problem: the outlet, the transformer or the wiring. We test each and repair or replace the controller.

Why is my Hunter sprinkler low pressure?

Low pressure on a zone usually means a leak, a partly open valve, a clogged filter or too many heads on the zone. We trace it.

Why is my Hunter sprinkler head leaking from the top?

Leaks from the top come from a worn seal, a cracked cap or dirt that keeps the head from sealing. We replace the head or the parts.

How do I fix a leaking Hunter sprinkler head?

Clean the head and check the seal. If it still leaks, replace the head or its seal. We match the nozzle to the zone.

Can you help with a leaking Hunter sprinkler head?

Yes. We repair and replace leaking Hunter sprinkler heads, including PGP and PGJ rotors.

How do I replace a Hunter pop-up sprinkler head?

Turn off the water, dig around the old head, unscrew it from the riser and thread on the new one. We replace Hunter pop-up heads and set them level.

How do I replace a Hunter rotor sprinkler head?

Dig around the rotor, unscrew it from the riser and fit the new rotor at the same height. We replace Hunter rotors and match the nozzle and arc to the zone.
