Eugene Sprinkler Service |
Answer: Less than one hour Explanation: Winterizing an average residential sprinkler system takes one man about 15-30 minutes. Winterization utilizes an air compressor with a Cubic Foot per Minute (CFM) rating of 80-100 for any mainline of 2" or less. Caution: a small shop compressor (1-3 HP) will not have enough "free" air to properly winterize the system. Do not attempt to fully charge the holding tank then release the highly-pressurized air flow into the mainline to compensate for the compressor's lack of CFM. |

GrassRoots Irrigation Service |
Answer: Less than one hour Explanation: Winterization involves evacuating the system of water and shutting off the water to the system. We accomplish this via pneumatic application as well sealing the system off after winterizing. It is very important to winterize your back flow device according to manufacturers specifications. Most back flow devices can crack when exposed to freezing temperatures. These devices can be expensive, so it is cost effective to have your system inspected and winterized by a licensed professional. Licensed irrigators (Lawn Sprinkler Systems) must receive proper training and pass a state proctored exam prior to receiving their license. Irrigation is regulated by the Texas Department of Environmental Quality |
DIAMONDBACK Service Management |
Answer: Less than one hour Explanation: To minimize the risk of freeze damage, you'll need to winterize your irrigation system. In areas where winterization is mandatory, irrigation systems are installed using one of three types of water removal: manual drain, auto drain, or blowout. If you don't know your system type, it is best to use the blowout method. We inspect the system, drain and blow out at appropriate pressure for the system type (PVC or Poly), inspect and drain backflow, complete clock review/system setup. |
