Process of Sprinkler System Preparation for Winter

Excelled preparation of the sprinkler system against cold damage caused by freeze is the main part of saving the irrigation system. First, water supply lines are shut off to prevent water from entering the system during freezing temperatures. Then, the system is drained, next thing around, either automatic (via a timer) or manual (a valve) approach is used. As the best method of defense, compressed air, in a blowout procedure that involves air being forced through each sprinkler zone to make sure all leftover water is removed from the pipes & component parts, is made to get going. The next step which is most important to prevent expansion due to freezing, where pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads can comment dry is to walk, shower, or jog to nearby areas can be addressed. The switch over to winter mode is now done in the controller, and the outdoor components, such as the backflow preventers, are also insulated if necessary. The process of making sprinkler systems winter-ready can save homeowners from unnecessary significant costs by ensuring the system is repaired and is available for usage without problems in the spring.

Checklist for Sprinkler System Preparation for Winter

Shut Off Water Supply: Ensure the valve cutting off the water into the main irrigation system is closed to stop any water flow from entering the system.
Drain Water from the System: Turn on manual or automatic bleeding valves positioned along the pipes to eject all the water.
Blow Out System with Compressed Air: If any compressor is available, then releasing all the water from each zone with the use of a compressor is advised so that frost damages are avoided.
Insulate Exposed Components: Wrap them either with insulation or insulating products that are specifically made for backflow preventers and valves. Outdoor components include backflow preventers and valves.
Adjust the Controller: Instead of no programming, set the irrigation controller to “off” or “winter” mode, to avoid the system performing any watering instructions during the cold months.
Inspect and Clean Sprinkler Heads: Make way for all blockages and heavy items such as grass clippings from sprinkler heads and examining for damage that may require repair in spring, if needed.
Store Detachable Parts: In cases that involve it as a deductible component like hoses or timers must be removed and to be stored securely afterwards.

  We recently had our sprinkler system fall closing service. Excellent customer service through the entire experience from the initial scheduling, our rescheduling with Julia and service provided by technician Arthur. I gave a five star for my opening, but forgot to mention how Michael went above and beyond to help us at a time where we were dealing with a lot of critical family health issues. From our installation several years ago now until this time,  we've had nothing but excellent service. I would highly recommend that anyone that wants to have a sprinkler system put in choose this company from both the excellent installation they do and service and their excellent customer service throughout all the processes
