To Winterization by Sprinkler System or Not???

While most irrigation system pipes should be well below the frost line in Georgia, it is still important to have your irrigation system winterized because you never know what kind of winter we are going to have here in Georgia. Particularly important are you valves because while they are underground they are still exposed and those connection points have a tendency to be the first area of breaks after a cold winter.

This is an excellent time of year to get your new irrigation system installed. If you've been thinking about getting an irrigation system, fall is a great time to do so. That way your yard is ready for next spring. Ask to make sure your irrigation company is it complying with state regulations (backflow prevention & rain sensors) and about warranties.

Winterizing Your Lawn Sprinkler System

So you don't think you need to winterize your irrigation system? At least do these couple of things, shut off the water. Run your system for about few seconds to clear as much water as possible. Unplug your controller. You aren't fully protected as you would be with a professional winterization but it's better than nothing. If you don't have a separate shut off for your irrigation system, your system is really at risk in the winter because water remains in the pipe. Consider having a shutoff installed.

Lawn Sprinkler Water Efficiency

What's the latest in irrigation system efficiency products? Wireless soil sensors! These sensors are placed in each irrigation zone and they measure moisture and temperature at the root level. Information is transmitted in real time 24 hours a day to a base station that works in conjunction with the existing irrigation controller.
The base station determines when your grass and/or plants have reached their optimum moisture level in each zone. The soil sensors' accurate information only allows the watering the plants need. This means a reduction in wasted water and possibly your water bill!
