Sprinkler Winterization

Sprinkler winterization is a necessity in order to protect your system from winter damage. Winterizing is the process of forcing compressed air into the sprinkler system and then cycling through each control valve until the water has been removed from the sprinkler/irrigation system.

WHEN BAD WEATHER HITS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
After the water has been removed, the sprinkler system should not be turned on until the following spring, when temperatures no longer have the potential of freezing any water in the system. Each Fall, it's important to have your sprinklers winterized before the cold settles in. A Sprinkler Master technician can give you a complete shutdown and blowout at the end of the season.
