Fresno watering rules and your Orbit and B-hyve system
Fresno’s City water customers follow the City of Fresno’s schedule. If your water comes from a different provider or a private well, follow that provider’s rules.
In short: three days a week Apr 1–Oct 31, one day a week Nov 1–Mar 31, never 10 a.m.–6 p.m..
After a Orbit and B-hyve repair we test each zone and can set the controller to match. See the full Fresno watering schedule.
We repair Orbit and B-hyve in Fresno
ACRE repairs Orbit sprinkler systems and B-hyve controllers in Fresno: Orbit brass, inline and anti-siphon valves, gear-drive sprinklers such as the H2O-6, Orbit timers and B-hyve smart controllers.
Everything is repaired from our Fresno location; see our national page on Orbit and B-hyve repair for the full list of Orbit and B-hyve problems we fix.
Orbit sprinkler timer not working in Fresno
An Orbit timer that went blank, lost its program or never starts a zone can have a power problem, a bad wire or a valve fault. We test each, repair or replace the timer, and set it for the days you need.
Fresno’s schedule changes on April 1 and November 1, and a controller that lost its program is a common reason a lawn ends up on the wrong days.
Orbit zone with low pressure or a leak in Fresno
If an Orbit zone sprays weakly or the ground stays wet, the problem may be a line break rather than the head. We run the zone, trace the pressure loss and fix the pipe or fitting.
In older parts of Fresno such as Old Fig Garden, we often find high water pressure and corroding galvanized pipe, and both wear out heads and fittings. See Old Fig Garden sprinkler repair.
About Fresno
Fresno summers are hard on sprinkler parts. At the Fresno Yosemite International Airport station the average July high is 97.7°F and the area averages about 38 days a year at 100°F or hotter, according to NOAA’s 1991–2020 climate normals. Seals, solenoids and plastic risers wear faster in that heat.
Fresno had 542,107 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 308 feet above sea level. Incorporated on October 21, 1885.
The Tower Theatre, built in 1939 at Olive and Wishon Avenues, anchors the Tower District north of downtown.
Orbit gear-drive sprinkler not rotating in Fresno
An Orbit gear-drive such as the H2O-6 that sticks, stops turning or will not come on often has a dirty or worn gear drive, or low pressure at the zone. We repair or replace the head and match the nozzle to the yard.
In Fresno the City bans watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Mondays, so most systems run overnight or before sunrise, and a failed head can go unseen for weeks.
