While you may not know how to winterize your sprinkler system, with a few helpful tips, you’ll get the job done in no time. Here are three pieces of advice on sprinkler system winterization:

• Turn Off Your Water Supply: The valve to your water supply is most likely located in your basement or, perhaps, even underground. All you need to do is find out where your valve is located and switch it off. However, if you cannot locate your valve, the professionals at The Sprinkler Connection will be happy to assist you.
• Purge Your Backflow Device: If you do not have a backflow device, then you may skip this step. However, if there is a backflow device on your property, purge the system and then leave the valve halfway open to reduce the buildup of moisture.
• Drain Your System: Finally, drain your sprinkler system completely. To further ensure that your pipes and valves are moisture-free, shoot compressed air through them. Doing so will guarantee that your system remains dry throughout the winter season.
