Cibolo heat and HOA windows are why a weather-based controller pays off — after the valves and heads are healthy.
Fast-growing NE suburbs with new installs. San Antonio irrigation lives with limestone, caliche, pockets of black clay, Edwards Aquifer hard water, and long hot summers. Those conditions scale nozzles, walk heads out of grade, and punish weak valves.
Smart Controller Installation in Cibolo
This is a Guadalupe County route we run weekly. We do not treat Cibolo like a generic Texas suburb — the soil, the water, and the HOA clock on this street are what set the repair.
How the visit goes
1) Confirm station count and wiring.
2) Mount, wire, and join the home network.
3) Enter soil, sun, and head type per zone.
4) Walk through the app before we leave.
Local conditions
Hard water in Guadalupe County scales nozzles. Limestone and clay shift heads. If you want the neighborhood page, see sprinkler repair in Cibolo.
What you can do before we arrive
Write down the station number, whether it fails only after rain, and whether the controller shows an error. Those three notes cut diagnostic time.
Parts and brands
Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro, Irritrol, Weathermatic, and K-Rain parts are not always interchangeable. On Cibolo systems we document what is in the ground and match precipitation rates so one head does not drown a bed while another dusts the turf.
If a model is discontinued we install the closest hydraulic match and tell you what changed. We do not leave a mixed zone that cannot be scheduled honestly.

Quick question
Do I need Wi-Fi at the garage panel? The controller needs a reliable signal. If the panel is in a dead corner we use a better location or a repeater.
When to call
Call Sprinkler Repair Tech if a zone will not shut off, water is pooling toward a foundation, or half the yard is offline in Cibolo heat. Those are same-week jobs. Tune-ups and audits book on the next route day.
We are a call-first repair company. Technicians carry solenoids, diaphragms, spray bodies, rotors, and nozzle trees so most Cibolo repairs finish in one visit. You get a plain-language explanation of what failed and how to water the soil you actually have.
Photograph the controller program before any upgrade. Label the valve box once we find it. Those two habits prevent a lot of repeat Cibolo calls after the next landscaper or freeze.
