Sprinkler systems require winterization to protect them from damage.<\/h3>\n

During the fall, homeowners are busy winterizing their homes and landscaping. Did you know that winterizing your sprinkler system is just as important as winterizing your home? Extensive damage can be done to your sprinkler system if it\u2019s not properly winterized. Take the necessary time to ensure your system will be ready to go when spring arrives.
\nHere are the steps to take to winterize your irrigation system:<\/p>\n


\n\u2022\tTurn off water supply: <\/strong>Turn the water supply off at the main valve. It\u2019s important to note that the main valve should be protected from freezing temperatures. It needs to be buried beneath the frost line, or well insulated.
\n
\n\u2022\tTurn off irrigation controller:<\/strong> If you have an automatic timer, turn it off or set it to \u201crain mode\u201d.
\n
\n\u2022\tTurn on valves: <\/strong>To release any pressure, turn on all of the valves.
\n
\n\u2022\tDrain the water:<\/strong> Drain the entire system by blowing out the water with an air compressor. If your system is PVC pipe, the pressure shouldn\u2019t exceed 80 psi. If the system is polyethylene pipe, the maximum pressure is 50psi.
\n
\n\u2022\tRemove the backflow preventer: <\/strong>In some cases, you can remove the backflow preventer and store it away for the winter. Make sure you drain the water completely before you store it.
\n
\n\u2022\tInsulate pipes above ground: <\/strong>All water pipes that are above ground should be insulated to protect them from freezing temperatures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
