After a Hunter repair we test each zone and can set the controller to match. See the full Del Rey watering schedule.
We repair Hunter in Del Rey
ACRE repairs Hunter sprinkler and irrigation systems in Del Rey: PGP and PGJ rotors, Pro-Spray heads, MP Rotators, PGV valves, and X-Core and Pro-C controllers.
Everything is repaired from our Fresno location; see our national page on Hunter repair for the full list of Hunter problems we fix.
Hunter zone leaking or soggy in Del Rey
A soggy strip, a geyser or a zone that went weak on a Hunter system is often a broken lateral line or fitting rather than the head. We isolate the zone, find the break and repair the pipe.
Del Rey is about 14.6 miles from our Fresno location. A zone with low pressure or soggy ground usually points to a leaking line, and we trace it zone by zone.
Hunter PGV valve stuck on or leaking in Del Rey
A Hunter PGV valve fails like any valve: debris, a worn diaphragm or a failing solenoid. A zone that stays on, will not close or weeps at the valve box can be rebuilt or replaced, and we test the wire back to the controller.
A valve that sticks open wastes water around the clock, and a failed one leaves a zone dry. Ask your district for the current rules and we will match the controller to them.
About Del Rey
Del Rey shares the Fresno area’s semi-arid San Joaquin Valley climate, with long, hot, dry summers, mild winters and about 11 inches of rain a year, so sprinklers carry most of the watering load.
The 2020 census counted 381 housing units in Del Rey, and about 49.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That works out to about 285 housing units per square mile.
Del Rey, Spanish for “of the King,” was originally called Clifton, after town founder Clift Wilkinson; the railroad renamed it in 1898 after the Rancho del Rey where the station sat.
Del Rey had 1,358 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 344 feet above sea level. A census-designated place (not a city).
Hunter MP Rotator uneven or weak in Del Rey
Hunter MP Rotators water slowly and evenly, so a clogged nozzle or low pressure shows up as a dry fan on the lawn. We clean or replace the nozzle, check pressure on the zone and look for a leak upstream.
Del Rey Community Services District provides community water service in Del Rey. We did not find published watering days, so ask your provider; a broken head wastes water either way.
