Pump Winterization Tips

Winterization Tips:

1) Turn off lawn controller and source water valve – break suction vacuum.

2)If feasible, disconnect water source and discharge piping.

3)On pump case, open both top and bottom drain valves to remove water from pump chambers.

4)Once water is drained from pump case, close drain valves.

5)Fill pump case with “RV” anti-freeze – just past the eye of the impeller.  The anti-freeze will keep cast iron pump cases from rusting and keep the impeller free for spring start-up.

Spring Start-up:

1) Drain and save the “RV” anti-freeze for the next year.

2)Proceed with normal Spring start-up procedures.

Notes

* Use of a non-toxic anti-freeze should cause no damage to landscaping.  Residual anti-freeze in the case will be diluted upon introduction of irrigation water.

*Use your own judgment on fragile plants and grasses.

*Pump case can be flushed with water to remove residual anti-freeze before start-up.
