Sanger watering rules and your Orbit and B-hyve system
The City of Sanger pumps all of its drinking water from wells located throughout the city, according to the City’s watering-schedule page.
In short: Monday/Thursday east of Academy Ave; Wednesday/Sunday (even) or Tuesday/Saturday (odd) elsewhere; never Friday.
After a Orbit and B-hyve repair we test each zone and can set the controller to match. See the full Sanger watering schedule.
We repair Orbit and B-hyve in Sanger
ACRE repairs Orbit sprinkler systems and B-hyve controllers in Sanger: 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 gear-drive sprinkler not rotating in Sanger
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 Sanger the rules in short are: Monday/Thursday east of Academy Ave; Wednesday/Sunday (even) or Tuesday/Saturday (odd) elsewhere; never Friday. A cracked or misaimed head puts water where it should not go, and a head that never rises leaves a dry patch until the next watering day.
B-hyve controller skipping zones or off the app in Sanger
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.
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.
Sanger is named for Joseph Sanger Jr., an official of the Pacific Improvement Company, an affiliate of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
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.
Orbit sprinkler valve leaking or stuck open in Sanger
An Orbit valve that leaks, keeps running or will not shut off usually has debris, a worn diaphragm or a failing solenoid, and a buzzing solenoid points the same way. We rebuild or replace Orbit brass, inline and anti-siphon 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.
