Compressed air is used to evacuate water from sprinkler systems, preventing freezing and potential damage during colder months. The necessary force of the air stream is a critical factor in this process. Insufficient force may leave residual water, while excessive force risks damaging the system components.
Properly clearing a sprinkler system is crucial for its longevity and effectiveness. Damage caused by trapped and freezing water can lead to costly repairs, system failure, and potential property damage from leaks. This practice has become increasingly important with the wider adoption of automated sprinkler systems in various climates.
