Dead stations

Sprinkler Zones Not Working

When one zone is quiet and the next one runs, the clock is getting power. The fault is on that station’s valve, its wire, or a pipe that no longer reaches the heads.

What to notice before we arrive

Write down the station number, whether the valve box hums, and whether any head on that zone weeps. A hum with no water is different from silence, and silence is different from a geyser at the box.

What we do not assume

We do not replace the controller because one station failed. We switch the station wire with a known-good station at the clock. If the dead zone then runs, the clock is fine and the problem is in the yard. Call 346-642-6161 with the station number.

If water is running right now, call 346-642-6161. The form is not an overnight emergency line.
