Irrigation start-up, service and winterizing
Starting the system in spring, fixing leaks and broken heads in summer, and blowing it out with a compressor in autumn before the first frost cracks the pipes.
When
March–August, October–November
How often
Twice a year and as needed
One visit
An hour to half a day
How it's done
In spring the zones are started one by one and every head is checked: does it rotate, does it reach, where does it spray. The controller schedule is changed with the season. In autumn the water is shut off and the pipes are blown out with a compressor, zone by zone, until only air comes out of the heads.
When we say no
We don't blow out a system we haven't seen running. First we start it up to know which zones and heads there are.
Good to know
One winter without winterizing costs more than ten winterizations. Water in the pipe freezes and splits it lengthwise.
