Winterize Sprinkler Back Flow: How to Prevent Ice/Winter Damage to Pipes
Winterize Sprinkler Back Flow: How to Prevent Ice/Winter Damage to Pipes by Winterizing Sprinklers During winter, low temperatures and freezes can damage your house's exterior pipes. Watch this Do It Yourself video to learn how to winterize your sprinkler system so it drains properly and you don't end up with frozen pipes, which would result in expensive pipe damage in your sprinkler back flow. How to Winterize Sprinklers (specifically, how to winterize back flows): To stop frozen pipes from having ice damage, there are two steps you need to follow. You don't need a plumber for these steps (DIY FTW!) but they are key in your winter maintenance. Step 1: Drain lines in the irrigation sprinkler. You want to minimize the water sitting in them. Step 2: Turn the ball valves in your backflow and spigot to 45 degree angles to release pressure from any built-up water pressure without causing pipe damage. You don't want the sprinkler system to be too open or too closed. And that's how to winterize pipes and prevent ice damage in winter!
