Each winter your irrigation system will need to be “winterized” to
prevent the water lines from freezing and cracking. This involves
blowing out the system with compressed air and turning the main valve
off to prevent water from flowing back into the system and freezing.

For the simple reason that even after you have drained water out of the system, it is
best to call a professional contractor for winterization due to, there could be some
water remains in the pipe that can freeze, expand and crack the PVC piping.
Polyethylene pipes are more flexible and can expand under pressure but, water left
inside could freeze and burst the pipe walls. Freezing water in the backflow preventer
will damage the internal mechanism.

Blow-out Winterization Method
It is recommended that a qualified licensed contractor performs a blow-out method to
winterize your lawn sprinkler system. Serious personal injury may result if you do not
proceed with care. One small mistake and you will no longer own a lawn sprinkler
system.
To winterize your lawn sprinkler system, you will need a commercial size air
compressor. You need to carefully attach the compressor to the mainline through a
quick coupler, hose bib or other type connection, which is located after the backflow
device. Shut off the irrigation water supply, close the compressor valve then attach the
air compressor hose to the fitting. Then slowly open the valve on the compressor. The
blow out pressure should NOT exceed 80 PSI.

You can start activating each zone from the furthest zone from the compressor slowly
working your way to the closest zone to the compressor. Keep each zone activated
until no water remains in the heads. Once the zone is dry, do not continue to blow air
through the pipe. Continuing to blow air through dry pipe can damage.
Turn off the controller after you are done blowing out the
system. You can install the threaded caps over the open ends of the backflow
preventer risers and any blow out fittings to keep garbage out until spring. Store the
backflow preventer inside for the winter.
