We repair Irritrol and Lawn Genie in Sanger
Many older Sanger systems still run on Irritrol and Lawn Genie valves. We repair them: solenoids, diaphragms, valve bodies and the wiring to the controller, plus Irritrol controllers including Rain Dial.
Everything is repaired from our Fresno location; see our national page on Irritrol and Lawn Genie repair for the full list of Irritrol and Lawn Genie problems we fix.
Irritrol Rain Dial controller dead or skipping in Sanger
An Irritrol controller or Rain Dial that is dead or skipping zones can be a power fault, a bad wire or a valve problem. We find which and repair or replace the controller.
A controller that loses its program can put you on the wrong days in Sanger (Monday/Thursday east of Academy Ave; Wednesday/Sunday (even) or Tuesday/Saturday (odd) elsewhere; never Friday), so we check the schedule whenever we repair or replace one.
About Sanger
Sanger 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.
In 1949 the U.S. Postal Service designated Sanger the “Nation’s Christmas Tree City.”
The Sanger Depot, built in 1887 next to the Southern Pacific line, became the Sanger Depot Museum in 1977.
Sanger had 26,617 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 371 feet above sea level. Incorporated in 1911.
Rebuild or replace an Irritrol or Lawn Genie valve in Sanger?
When the body is sound, we can rebuild with new internals. When parts are hard to find or the body is cracked, we replace the valve. We show you what we find in the valve box and explain the choice before the work starts.
A valve that sticks open runs a zone when the rules say it should be off (Monday/Thursday east of Academy Ave; Wednesday/Sunday (even) or Tuesday/Saturday (odd) elsewhere; never Friday), and one that will not open leaves a whole zone dry.
Irritrol and Lawn Genie and watering in Sanger
The City of Sanger pumps all of its drinking water from wells located throughout the city, according to the City’s watering-schedule page.
Addresses east of Academy Avenue water Monday and Thursday. All other even-numbered addresses water Wednesday and Sunday, and odd-numbered addresses Tuesday and Saturday. There is no watering on Fridays, city-wide, and watering is allowed only 3–7 a.m. and 7 p.m.–midnight.
After a Irritrol and Lawn Genie repair we test each zone and can set the controller to match. See the full Sanger watering schedule.
Lawn Genie valve stuck or leaking in Sanger
A Lawn Genie valve that sticks open or will not start a zone is tested the same way: solenoid and wire first, then the diaphragm. We rebuild or replace Lawn Genie valves.
A valve that sticks open runs a zone when the rules say it should be off (Monday/Thursday east of Academy Ave; Wednesday/Sunday (even) or Tuesday/Saturday (odd) elsewhere; never Friday), and one that will not open leaves a whole zone dry.
