Powell, OH - Irrigation systems are important because they keep landscapes and their plants healthy and hydrated. This is crucial during warmer seasons, especially the summer. However, when winter rolls around, the need for irrigation systems wanes, and in many cases, they are shut down completely. However, with the correct precautions, irrigation systems can actually become damaged as a result of freezing water and harsh weather conditions. This is why it is important to winterize irrigation systems in preparation for the cold. Winterization is provided by Hydro Tech Irrigation and involves a number of processes that will be described below.
Draining Water From Irrigation Systems
During winter, temperatures drop below freezing. This means that any water that is left behind in irrigation systems will solidify into ice. Ice takes up more space than water, which means that it can cause irrigation systems to warp, crack, and take other forms of damage. Because of this, it is important to remove all water from lines before winter approaches. Hydro Tech Irrigation accomplishes this by draining all parts of irrigation systems in preparation for the colder months.
Cleaning Water Lines
While draining water lines, it is a perfect time to ensure they are free from debris, too. Hydro Tech Irrigation accomplishes this using a specialized blow out machine. The blow out machine uses compressed air to extract any debris from the irrigation system’s zones. This will not only remove debris but any residual water as well. This ensures that irrigation systems are clear, clog-free, and ready to be fired back up when spring arrives.
Safety Inspection
As part of the winterization process, Hydro Tech Irrigation also inspects irrigation systems to ensure they are in working order. It is important to inspect irrigation systems on a semi-regular basis. This is because any component—pipes, sprinklers, filters, or valves—can deteriorate or become damaged over time. Hydro Tech Irrigation ensures these parts are in working condition, and if not, replaces them immediately.
