Start up and Winterizations

Irrigation Start Ups

When it’s time to bring your system back online, careful diagnostics and calibrated settings set the stage for a healthy season. TruBlue Irrigation performs thorough spring start ups tailored to your property’s layout, plant material, and soil conditions.

We service residential yards, commercial sites, and HOA-managed landscapes across Southern Alberta — including High River, Okotoks, Foothills County, and South Calgary. Each start up includes a zone-by-zone inspection and precise controller programming to maximize uniformity and water savings.

Start up service includes:

  • Mainline pressurization and leak check
  • Backflow preventer inspection and testing
  • Zone-by-zone run-through to flush lines and verify coverage
  • Nozzle cleaning, head alignment, and height adjustments
  • Valve and wiring checks (solenoids, connectors, common lines)
  • Pressure verification and minor repairs on the spot (as approved)
  • Controller setup: seasonal scheduling, smart/Wi-Fi calibration, rain sensor test

From the first turn of the valve to the final controller check, every TruBlue start up is built for reliability, efficiency, and a strong start to the growing season.

Irrigation Winterization

When freezing temperatures arrive, proper shut down and line evacuation prevent costly damage. TruBlue Irrigation winterizes systems with proven procedures that protect pipes, valves, and backflow assemblies against Southern Alberta’s deep freezes.

We provide residential, commercial, and HOA winterization across High River, Okotoks, Foothills County, and South Calgary — using professional equipment and safe air pressures to fully clear your lines.

Winterization service includes:

  • Water shutoff at the irrigation main and isolation valves
  • Backflow preventer protection (drain, isolate, insulate as needed)
  • Compressed-air blowout of each zone at safe PSI for your pipe type
  • Drainage of low points, drip zones, and ancillary lines
  • Controller set to Off/Rain mode with battery check (if applicable)
  • End-of-season report with recommended repairs for spring

From the last cycle to the final blowout, every TruBlue winterization is engineered to safeguard your system and ensure a smooth, worry-free start up in spring.
