Did you already turn your sprinklers back on with the recent warm weather here in Colorado Springs—only to see another cold snap in the forecast? You’re not alone. Spring along the Front Range can be unpredictable, and those overnight temperatures can quickly dip below freezing, especially in areas like Black Forest, Monument, and even parts of the Springs.
If your irrigation system is pressurized during a freeze, it can lead to cracked pipes, damaged valves, and costly repairs.
This video walks you through how to properly drain your sprinkler system ahead of a cold front so you can protect your investment and avoid unnecessary damage. Taking a few minutes now can save you a major headache later.
Stay one step ahead of Colorado’s ever-changing weather—and when in doubt, it’s always safer to shut it down before a freeze hits. To keep up on the ever changing weather, I follow Matt Meister with Peak2Plains Weather. Check him out!
