If you are new to irrigation there is a chance that winterization, as a concept, is also very new. So, let’s start from the top. Winterization of your irrigation system is the process of removing all water from your lines, sprays, and drips, and completely shutting down your irrigation clock for the cold season.
If an unexpected freeze occurs and you have not winterized your backflow you could have costly repairs on your hands. But what happens when your backflow freezes? And what is used to prevent it? These are the questions we are going to answer today.
Today, at long last, we are here to discuss the final cornerstone, Clocks! As with the previous cornerstones, this is more of a 101 beginner’s course. So, by the end of this post the goal is to explain an irrigation clock’s purpose, how it works, and some of the key features of one of the more popular models: The Hunter Pro-C.
A manifold in relation to mechanics is: “A pipe fitting with several lateral outlets for connecting one pipe with others.” I like to think of an irrigation manifold as the “heart” your system.
Within this week’s post, I want to delve into wherean outdoor backflow is in your system. That way you will know where to look, and what to do if you need to quickly turn off the water to your irrigation.
