2009 Irrigation Winterizing


Here is a picture of the air compressor used to blow the irrigation lines free of water.


Hose runs from compressor in to pumphouse


Air hose attached to main irigation line that heads out to course


The first step in winterizing the system is to plug into all of the quick couplers seen above on the course and blow them free which will ultimately empty most of the main line water.

Here is another quick coupler being blown out. These quick couplers are located at all greens, front nine tees, and some landscape areas.



We have to ability to fill the back nine irrigation lake by pumping from the front nine lake. Pictured above we are forcing water out of 4" fill line into lake.

Once quick couplers are blown we then move on to the regular irrigation heads. Pictured above we are blowing out the clubhouse grounds.
