Winter is here which means...
Frozen Water Causes Pipes & Lines to Burst
Protect Your Irrigation System from Winter Damage
After using your irrigation system, water can become trapped in the lines. If the right equipment isn’t used and proper pressure and CFM aren’t maintained, this remaining water can freeze. With nowhere to expand, frozen water can cause your lines to crack and burst, leading to costly repairs.
Why You Should Winterize Your System
Prevent PVB Damage: Frozen water can expand and damage the vacuum breaker, creating cracks in the body and valves, and destroying internal components. Vacuum breaker repairs can be very costly.
Prevent Underground Valve Damage: The valves and manifold located in underground boxes are critical components of your system. They distribute water to individual zones, and if not properly winterized, catastrophic damage may occur.
Prevent Line Damage: Frozen lines can break and are difficult to repair, especially since they’re buried underground.
Avoid Rotor and Spray Head Damage: Frozen water can also harm your system’s rotors and spray heads, leading to further issues.
The key to preventing these problems is to evacuate as much water from the lines as possible before winter sets in.
