How to Blow Out Irrigation Lines: Winterize sprinkler system DIY

#winterizeirrigation, #blowoutirrigationlines, #blowoutsprinklers, #winterizesprinklersystem Putting your irrigation lines to bed for winter means getting the water out (so it can't freeze and break the pipes) and the air in. Our system uses Rainbird sprinklers and those can be found on Amazon: Rainbird 1804sam A43905 by Rain Bird https://amzn.to/3kdNP2q Rain-bird 5000 Series Rotor Sprinkler Head - 5004 PC Model, Adjustable 40-360 Degree Part-Circle, 4 Inch Pop-Up Lawn Sprayer Irrigation System - 25 to 50 Feet Water Spray Distance (Y54007) (2 Pack) by Rain Bird https://amzn.to/2YkLtXU Rain Bird 5 Sprinkler 1804-SAM-PRS 4" Spray SAM-PRS Pressure Regulating by Rainbird https://amzn.to/3GVojc7 Rain-Bird ESP-TM2 Indoor Outdoor Irrigation WiFi Zone Controller Timer Box and Link Lnk WiFi Mobile Wireless Smartphone Upgrade Module Sprinkler System (6 Zone) by Rain-Bird https://amzn.to/3EQSUWk Rain Bird 32ETI Easy to Install In-Ground Automatic Sprinkler System Kit by Rain Bird https://amzn.to/3EVq6w9 We used a typical household 20 gallon craftsman air compressor. Because it doesn't contain a tremendous volume of air, it means we could only do one zone at a time before having to recharge the air compressor. The key to this job is to know how to connect the air compressor hose to the irrigation system itself. Your system may be different but once you know how all this works, you may have some clues as to where your connection point might be. The way we did it, it typically takes about 1.5 hrs - most of the time is waiting on the compressor to charge back up. Because an in ground sprinkler system has few moving parts, repair and maintenance is pretty basic. Thanks for watching!
