Friant watering rules and your Orbit and B-hyve system
We did not find a single public water provider for Friant, so check your water bill or ask us to look at your address.
In short: ask your water provider.
After a Orbit and B-hyve repair we test each zone and can set the controller to match. See the full Friant watering schedule.
We repair Orbit and B-hyve in Friant
ACRE repairs Orbit sprinkler systems and B-hyve controllers in Friant: 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 zone with low pressure or a leak in Friant
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.
Friant is about 14.7 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.
Orbit gear-drive sprinkler not rotating in Friant
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.
We did not find a public water provider for Friant, so check your water bill. A broken head wastes water on any system.
About Friant
Friant 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.
Friant was formerly called Converse Ferry, Jones Ferry, Hamptonville and Pollasky.
The 2020 census reported a median age of 58.6 in Friant, older than the other communities we serve, and about 79% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
Friant had 446 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 344 feet above sea level. A census-designated place (not a city).
B-hyve controller skipping zones or off the app in Friant
A B-hyve controller that drops zones or will not follow its schedule can be a power, wiring or valve problem, not only a software one. We test the zone outputs and the valves, repair or replace the controller, and set the program.
We did not find published watering days for Friant, so ask your water provider or your county if you are on a well, and we will program the controller to match.
