    How to Blow Out Sprinklers for Winter

    In-ground sprinkler systems are incredibly helpful in keeping the grass and garden looking great during the warm months of the year, but when the temperature drops, the water within the buried hoses and pipes is likely to freeze, forcing the pipe to expand and crack. Rigid PVC pipes may burst entirely, instead of developing slow leaks, which is more common with flexible polyethylene pipes.

    Tip

    This project describes one type of set-up, but there are other types. In some irrigation systems, the irrigation boxes are in a box in the ground, with a RPZ to protect the local water supply. Note which type of set-up you have before proceeding.

    Demo

    To help prevent damage to your sprinkler system, it’s important to shut off the flow of water to the system. You also need to make sure to drain the water out of the pipes, so they remain empty throughout the cold winter months. Follow these steps to drain and blow out your sprinkler system, protecting the lines from cracks and leaks.

    Warning

    Only attempt to blow out your sprinkler system if you have experience working with an air compressor. An air compressor can cause extensive damage to the sprinkler system and could put an inexperienced user or others at risk if the air pressure makes the water line burst.
