System Repair FAQs

Practical answers for troubleshooting, maintenance, and optimizing your irrigation system performance.

Winterization requires clearing all water from your lines using a compressed air blowout method. Ensure your main shut-off valve is closed, then connect an air compressor to the blow-out port. Gradually increase pressure to 50 PSI, cycling through each zone until only mist exits the heads. Never exceed 80 PSI to avoid damaging PVC components.
