Only at Whitemarsh!

This time of year we usually winterize the irrigation system. This work has to be done every year to prevent the underground pipes from freezing and breaking. We would reserve a large industrial compressor for a mild day (above 50 degrees) so it would not be too uncomfortable when we are out there getting wet by the mist. The goal is to move all the water in the pipes and sprinklers out by using lower pressure, high volume air. This process takes a full day and a half but it could save many days of digging and replacing pipe and sprinklers. I guess the weather prediction changed.......so today was the day and we spent all day getting all the water out of the irrigation pipes and as you can see in the picture mist is being blown out of the sprinkler head. A warmer day makes it less of a headache but the procedure is now done.
