Winterize your irrigation system early every Fall to prevent damage and to ensure proper function year after year. I cannot stress the importance enough. I repair too many systems due to FREEZE damage.
If you take care of your system it should last 20 years or more. Every system will have a sprinkler or a valve go bad due to age and natural wear and tear. But, these are minor compared to replacing a whole valve assembly and or copper repairs. I could go on and on about why you should winterize your system early. Save yourself money and misery, winterize early every year!
