Procedure of Sprinkler System Shutdown

Rendering a sprinkler system out of service in the cold season needs a few basic steps to prevent any freeze damages. First, turn off the main supply of water to avoid the water supply to the pipes. As the next step, one should release any pressure in the system, either by opening a drain valve or briefly running the system. Backflow the preventer, as water blocked here can become ice and destroy the device. Later, using compressed air in the pipes to blow out the water remaining in each zone. This step is vital to stop the bursting of frozen, brittle pipes. Disable the control unit of the system by setting it to “off” or “Rain Mode” (if possible). To wrap the pipes, valves, and backflow preventers that are exposed with insulation, for enhanced protection against cold weather. Last but not least, in the final phase, do a physical inspection of all the valves and other components involved in the system to make sure that it is completely shut and dry. This will physically protect the system and make it ready for a perfect start in spring.

  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
