    Sprinkler Winterization

    Here is a short list of the sprinkler system winterization steps we follow as part of our routine annual care plan.

    Shutting Off Water Supply

    First, we turn off the water supply to the irrigation system using the valves near the water meter. Typically, two of these valves lead to the backflow prevention device.

    Turning Off the Timer

    This step varies depending on whether or not your sprinkler system is automated. Computerized sprinkler systems also require this step, so first, we locate the controller and then select an appropriate setting to turn off the timer.

    Draining your pipes of any excess water

    Draining your pipe from excess water. This is a critical step in sprinkler system winterization; we must ensure that your line is completely dry.

    This can be done in three ways: automatically, manually, or with a blowout. We perform our pipe draining by blowout, the most effective method to ensure dry pipes.

    Draining Your System Using Blowout Method

    This method requires using an air compressor with a CFM rating (CFM) while taking safety precautions such as using ANSI-approved safety eye protection. To begin the process, the water supply is turned off, and the air compressor is connected to the line fitting with the compressor valve closed.

    On the controller, the zone with the sprinklers is turned on while the backflow isolation valves are closed.

    Then, the compressor’s valve is kept open to gently allow air to enter the irrigation system.

    Throughout the procedure, the blowout pressure must not exceed 80 PSI and should remain below the rated maximum pressure limit of the lowest pressure permitted component on that zone.

    Draining Your System Manually

    The manual method is effective when a sprinkler system’s manual valves are positioned at the end of low points of the irrigation piping. The process involves disconnecting your water supply and activating all manual drain valves. After that, the boiler drain valve on the stop and waste valve is then opened to drain any residual water between the irrigation water shut-off valve and the backflow device.

    Some systems have automated components that drain the water when the main valve is shut off.
