Preparing Your Sprinkler System for Winter: The Precision Irrigation Process

Winterizing your sprinkler system is a critical task that requires expert care. At Precision Irrigation, we follow a meticulous process to ensure your system is fully protected from winter weather. Here’s an overview of our winterization process and why it’s essential:

1. Shutting Off the Water Supply: The first step in our winterization process is to shut off the main water supply to the sprinkler system. This prevents any new water from entering the pipes and freezing during the winter.

2. Draining the System: We use the appropriate method to drain water from the system. This includes using manual drain valves, automatic drain valves, or the blowout method to ensure all water is removed from the pipes.

3. Blowout Method: For systems that require it, we use an air compressor to blow out any remaining water. Our technicians are trained to perform this safely, ensuring complete water removal without damaging the system.

4. Checking for Leaks: Before winterizing, we inspect the entire system for leaks or damage. Addressing these issues before winter ensures the system is in good condition and ready for the next season.

5. Controller Adjustment: We set the sprinkler controller to the “off” position or use the “rain mode” or “winter mode” if available. This prevents the system from activating during the winter months.

6. Scheduling Spring Startup: To ensure a smooth transition into the next growing season, we help you schedule a spring startup service. Our experts will reactivate and inspect your system in the spring, making any necessary adjustments for optimal performance.

7. Professional Expertise: Our technicians have the training and experience to winterize your sprinkler system correctly. We stay updated on the latest industry practices and use state-of-the-art equipment to deliver the best results.

8. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your sprinkler system has been professionally winterized provides peace of mind. You can rest assured that your system is safe from winter damage and ready for the colder months.
