Old FaithfulIf you want to avoid this in the spring, FALL is the time to make plans for having your sprinklers blown out. Be sure, after you have had your sprinkler lines blown out, that you have the main valve reopened. This will allow any remaining water to drain from your system into the larger irrigation pipes to avoid it freezing and causing the the valve to break. If not drained from the valve, come spring you could find you have your own personal geyser, which is usually the cause of our irrigation water being turned off several times in the spring... to allow a homeowner to have the valve repaired. Be considerate of your neighbors and have your irrigation system blown out and properly shut down for the winter. |
