Winterization Instructions

Step 1     Shut off the main water valve for the sprinklers.

Step 2     Go outside and remove the RPZ valve. This is done by removing the 2 screws on top of the RPZ valve

                and lifting the wedge unit out. Then lift out the center valve portion and bring RPZ inside for the winter.

Step 3     Turn the RPZ valve handles outside at a 45 degree angle. (This is ½ on and ½ off) This is very important or the valves will freeze and split and you will pay for new ones.

Step 4     Locate sprinkler drain if any. If located inside, open and drain into a bucket. If located outside, open and leave.

Step 5     If you have a sprinkler pump unplug at this time. Whole house pumps may be left plugged in.

Step 6     Program all stations to run for 5 minutes each. When cycle is complete, turn off clock. (You will not see or hear anything during this step)

Spring Start up Instructions

Step 1     Reinstall the RPZ valve outside and open the valves that were left at 45 degrees.

Step 2     Close the drains that were opened for winter. 

Step 3     Turn the main water valve on.

Step 4     Check each zone and make sure all the sprinkler heads are spraying correctly.

Step 5     Call us for the annual RPZ certification as required by law.
