| Fall System Winterization & Shutdown |
- Professional service tech(s) on site
- Remove water from all irrigation lines (blown out with large volume air compressor)
- Winterize backflow prevention device or lake pump (water removed from all exposed/outdoor pipe and equipment)
- Fall winterization: To minimize the risk of freeze damage to your irrigation system, you will need to "Winterize" your system. Every year, before the first freeze, the routine of irrigation "blow out" becomes the priority for all systems in our area where the frost level extends below the depth of the installed piping.
- Even if you have drained some water out of the system, the remaining water can freeze, expand and crack the piping. Even though Polyethylene pipe (flexible, black pipe) is flexible and can expand under pressure, water left inside could freeze and rupture the pipe walls. Freezing water in the backflow assembly will damage the internal components and could possibly crack the brass body.
- Winterizing, In closing your system it is recommended that a qualified licensed contractor "Blow Out" close your system. This method utilizes a air compressor with a Cubic Foot per Minute (CFM) rating of 80-100 for any mainline of 2" or less.
