When an irrigation system properly by a professional and have installed a check valve somewhere near the entrance of the water. There are two types of systems. Dry for use in areas affected by freezing temperatures and wet (most common) for areas that are not impaired under a below freezing. In wet systems, water lines and by the Director of Irrigation, which has a temperature-controlled protection, which is restricted melts at a certain temperature, and to circulate the water. These systems are very reliable and if you tap water to test for the complete system should be eliminated and revised every 10 years or less are.

Determine the type of sprinkler system with water you have, you can find the manufacturer and serial number on the syringes. There are several species, including, but not wet, dry chemical foam less (often limited).
To find manufacturers 2Contact Paso, fire protection engineer or a local fire station, a certified inspector to test your system. There are federal and state and local regulations, they know that can do that. PLEASE DO NOT TRY or change your system.
