Protect Your Irrigreen Irrigation System Before This Weekend's Cold Snap!!!

Snow and freezing temps are headed to the Front Range this Friday into Saturday. If your irrigation system is already on for the season, take these quick steps now:

1. Shut off your controller — Switch to "off" or "rain mode" to prevent water from freezing inside your lines and heads.

2. Drain exposed lines — Clear any standing water from backflow preventers and valve boxes. Water expands when it freezes and can crack fittings.

3. Insulate your backflow preventer — Wrap it with foam insulation tape or a bag from any hardware store. This is the most common freeze damage point.

4. Check your valve box lids — Make sure they're fully closed. A cracked or missing lid exposes valves to freezing overnight air.

A quick freeze like this won't cause major damage if your system was properly winterized last fall. If you skipped winterization or spot any issues after the cold passes, give us a call — we'll get everything checked before irrigation season kicks into gear.
