I’ve had a sprinkler system on both house I’ve owned. What is there to winterize? Drain the back flow if it’s above ground and you’re done.

Never had one but when google it talking about blowing air through it Just shut it off like DanDaBald said. And if you have a backflow preventer above ground it will have two valves on either side of the backflow. Close those valves and then there should be a drain port. Drain it and be done. No need to blow air through it in my experience. The ground in Texas doesn’t freeze.

I was curious about the same thing. Had the sprinkler co. out here the other day doing some stuff and I asked the guy. He said at least around here in my area (Frederickaburg) that they just don't see it done.

I've had one for 20+ years and have never done anything but turn it off.

There is no frost line in Texas. Nothing below ground freezes.
