How Do I Blow Out My Sprinkler System?

Blowing out sprinklers is the main component of winterization. Without it, your irrigation pipes could burst from freezing and expanding residual water. Well before freezing weather, you’ll want all the water pushed out of your system.

Trying to manually drain all the water out won’t be effective enough. Even trace amounts of water left over can do damage. Therefore, you’ll want a method that utilizes high pressure to blow all moisture out for the upcoming winter. This will take a special air compressor that is hooked up to your irrigation system.

Other reasons you’ll want to consider having a professional complete this service for you other than access to this equipment include:

• There is a certain direction the water should be blown out toward. This takes practice.
• Compressed air can be dangerous without experience.
• Excessive pressure can cause the pipes to burst open.

How Do I Winterize My Sprinkler System?

The winterization of your sprinkler system is a crucial step in maintaining a healthy lawn and garden. In addition to helping to ensure that your landscaping will remain lush and beautiful when warmer weather arrives, taking the time to correctly winterize your sprinklers can save you from expensive repairs in the spring. You should follow these measures to get your sprinkler system ready for the winter:

• Shut off any water sources that are connected to the irrigation system. This will stop any water that is still in pipes or lines from freezing in cold weather, which could lead to a burst pipe or line.
• Drain out any remaining water inside of pipes by using a compressor or blowing air through them until they are completely dry. Even small amounts of moisture can freeze solid within minutes, causing damage along its path inside piping systems.
• Cover up exposed parts with insulation material such as bubble wrap so that they don’t become damaged due to extreme temperature changes throughout the season; it’s also recommended that these parts be removed entirely if possible before being stored indoors until needed again next year.

By taking these easy precautions, you can easily guard yourself against potential cold-related harm while also maintaining a lovely landscape for spring! In addition to lowering repair costs, careful planning ensures minimal disruption when turning your sprinkler system back on once it is warm enough outside. Making protecting one's investment in their yard much simpler than having to start over after unforeseen problems arise as a result of inadequate planning beforehand.
