Do I have to be home?

No—if the inside water is shut off and I can access the controller, you don’t have to be home.

How do you handle lake intake lines?

I disable pump-start, blow out zones at 50–60 PSI with high CFM, and when needed I pull & disconnect the intake line for $125 so nothing can siphon back in.

Controller on or off after winterizing?

For city-water, it can stay ON. After shutoff and blowout there’s no pressure; a scheduled zone opening can help gravity-drain. For pump/lake/well systems, I disable pump-start so the pump can’t run dry.

What PSI/CFM do you use?

50–60 PSI with high CFM. Volume is what safely moves the water.

Waterford has lakes everywhere—Cass, Elizabeth, Sylvan, Scott—so I see a lot of pump and intake setups. I winterize with 50–60 PSI and high CFM, run short passes per zone, and leave the drain plug off or partially threaded so any weeping main shut-off drains out instead of back into the system.

How I Winterize (Button View)

1 Shut off & inspect Supply closed, backflow/pump, drains, zone order 2 Safe hookup Downstream of backflow; 50–60 PSI + high CFM 3 Short zone passes Farthest first; ~60–120s to fine mist 4 Backflow & drains Purge cocks; drain plug off/part-threaded 5 Controller City-water can stay ON; pump-start disabled 6 Paper report Leave Winterizing Report + text notes

Important: Winterization is not a full inspection (air won’t reveal everything the way water does). If you notice continuous weeping at the drain after 24–72 hours, call; otherwise I’ll see you at spring start-up.
