Irrigation Startup & Shutdown done right
Spring startup brings your system back for the season — we open the water gradually, run every zone, set the controller and correct any heads that winter knocked out of alignment.
Fall shutdown protects the system itself: we shut off the supply and blow the lines out with compressed air, because water left in pipes, valves and heads freezes and splits them over a Missouri winter.
How it works
- 1. Turn on and inspect — in spring we open the water slowly, run every zone and look for winter damage.
- 2. Program the controller — we set the watering schedule for the season and adjust heads for coverage.
- 3. Blow out the lines — in fall we shut off the water and blow the system out with compressed air so no water is left to freeze.
Irrigation Startup & Shutdown FAQs
+When should I schedule irrigation startup and shutdown?
Startup in spring after the last hard freeze, and shutdown in fall before the first one. Booking both keeps your system protected every season.
+Why does the system need to be blown out?
Any water left in the lines, valves or heads can freeze and crack them. A compressed-air blowout clears the system so winter can't damage it.
