Chance of Snow This Week. Have You Winterized Your Sprinkler System Yet?

October 22, 2012UncategorizedBy popng97aby

Don’t be fooled by this beautiful Colorado temperature today. We are in the Fall season. According to the weekly weather forecast, snow is on the horizon for late this week. Have you winterized your sprinkler system yet?

 


 

So, why is it so important to winterize (or Blow-out) your sprinkler system? It will increase the longevity of your sprinkler system.

Living in Colorado means that the winter season brings us beautiful white landscapes and ice formations. It also means that the snow won’t melt for days on end and where the frost level extends below the depth of the installed piping. That also means that you need to take measures to protect your irrigation system from freezing in order to avoid costly repairs in the spring.
Beware when you contract the winterization of your sprinkler be sure it is done with a large compressor like a tow behind. Smaller compressors can leave water behind resulting in expensive repairs.

Draining some water out of the system is not enough because the remaining water can freeze, expand and crack the PVC piping from fitting to fitting. If your system has polyethylene pipe, although this type of pipe is more flexible and can expand under pressure, you are taking a great risk by leaving water inside as it could freeze and rupture the pipe walls. It is simply not prudent to leave water to freeze in the backflow assembly as it will damage the internal components and crack the brass body.

Remember that if you choose not to winterize your system, you also choose to increase its wear and tear.
Protect your investment and put your mind at peace by scheduling your sprinkler blow-out now and take advantage of our Winterization Packages. Contact us today for details or to schedule your service. info@trustgreenguys.com| (303) 775-7412 |
