Sprinkler System - Sprinkler Winterization

In Idaho, Mother Nature likes to test our patience and keeps us in freezing temperatures for months. In the fall (October), sprinkler systems will need to be winterized. 

Caring for your sprinkler systems includes preparing them for the winter. Forgetting to winterize your sprinklers can damage them. 

When is the right time to do sprinkler system winterization? 

As a general rule, it is important to winterize your sprinklers at least a week before the expected first frost. 

Sprinkler winterization uses the blow out process to completely dry out your sprinklers including spray heads. 

When temperature starts to drop, it is important to conduct sprinkler winterization. You need to keep the valves and pipes dry before the first hard freeze. This is to ensure you do not leave any water inside. Use an air compressor to blow out your pipes.

  1. Turning off water supply to the sprinkler system.
  2. Hook up a compressor to your system while using the correct amount of pressure to blow out the water that is in the lines.
  3. Open any drains that are in valve boxes.
  4. Open drains on pressure vacuum breaker and turn ball valves to a 45 degree angle.
