What Causes Punky Grapefruit?

Question

My grapefruit tree is 8 yrs old and produces grapefruits that are not sweet and the fruit when cut open is punky and not sweet. It looks healthy and we fertilize every three months with a citrus fertilizer. We have a sprinkler system that waters the trees 3 xs weekly in the hot season and 1 weekly during winter months. Could it be too much water causing the problem?

Citrus can be problematic when not watered correctly. Proper drainage is equally important. Too much or too little water will deffinately affect fruit texture and taste.
