Sprinkler Controller & Timer Repair for Madera homes
When zones do not start, the timer is not always the problem. A dead display, a blown fuse, lost power, a failed terminal or a bad common wire can all look the same. We test the controller, then the wiring, then a valve, so you only replace what is actually broken.
We repair and replace sprinkler timers and controllers, rewire terminals, and set the program for your watering days.
In Madera, the controller is what keeps your system inside its watering days and hours, so a timer that loses its program can break the schedule overnight.
Madera watering rules and your sprinklers
Madera city water customers follow the City of Madera’s Stage B rules. The City’s water system includes 20 active wells and about 200 miles of waterlines, per Wikipedia.
Under the City’s Stage B rules, even-numbered addresses water Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and odd-numbered addresses Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. No outside water use on Mondays or between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. The City’s rules also say leaks and sprinkler adjustments must be fixed within 5 days of a citation.
