Winterization FAQ

 

What is the best time of year for winterization for my irrigation system?

In Canada, the best time to perform winterization for your irrigation system or irrigation systems, is typically between late September and early October, before the first hard frost. The exact timing depends on your location, but the goal is to complete the process before freezing temperatures can damage the irrigation lines and sprinkler system. Monitoring local weather forecasts to avoid any early frost is crucial, as waiting too long can expose your system to freezing conditions, potentially causing costly repairs.
