In the event of freezing weather

If we should receive freezing weather before your system is winterized, it is important to protect your backflow prevention device and filter (if you have a filter). You may have one of the device listed below.  Step one: Shut the water off in the basement.  (click here for a picture of the sprinkler main valve in the "off" position)

Step two: Open the  boiler drain valve

Step three: For extra protection, cover the backflow device with a heavy tarp or blanket.
