When temperatures start to drop, irrigation systems face one of their biggest challenges: freezing water lines. For contractors, landscapers, and property managers, winterization is the best way to prevent costly damage and downtime.
The secret to doing it right? Using the right air compressor.
At ANA, we make your world easier with dependable AIRMAN® air compressors that deliver consistent, reliable performance during irrigation blowouts and other cold-weather jobs.
When water freezes inside an irrigation line, it expands and can crack pipes, fittings, and sprinkler heads. Repairs can quickly become expensive, but the good news is that proper winterization prevents all of that.
By blowing out the lines with compressed air, you can make sure every bit of water is cleared from the system. This helps you:
Eliminate trapped moisture before it freezes
Start up faster when spring arrives
Avoid unnecessary repair calls later on
Not all air compressors are designed for irrigation blowouts. The job requires steady airflow, dependable pressure, and equipment that performs in cold weather.

Pro Tips for a Successful Blowout Season
Start early. Schedule blowouts before the first hard freeze.
Use the right fittings. Make sure your hoses and couplers are pressure-rated and secure.
Work in zones. Clear one irrigation zone at a time for the best airflow.
Keep your compressor maintained. Drain moisture traps and check filters regularly.
Stay safe. Always follow PSI guidelines and wear protective gear.
