  Goal of Winterizing Irrigation Systems The chill autumn air is upon us, which means that now is the time to winterize your irrigation systems! Your sprinkler system is an investment that requires seasonal maintenance. Properly winterizing your irrigation system is critical to preventing damaged pipes and backflow devices.  Ruptured pipes and backflow devices can result in very costly repairs. When water freezes and expands within an irrigation system, it can cause damage. The overall goal of winterizing is to get all the water out of the irrigation system to prevent damage from freezing temperatures. The damage can take place in any component of the system:  sprinklers, filters, fittings, pipe, pump casings, or backflows. All components are susceptible to cracking, resulting in a leaky irrigation system and a whole lot of money wasted.   Winterizing an irrigation system correctly, will save you time and money. Not only is it critical to winterize irrigation equipment prior to freezin
