A number of service calls concerning busted irrigation backflow preventers.
Unfortunately, backflow preventers have precise and integral components that can be easily damaged by the forces of frozen water. If you have not protected your backflow preventer and was lucky that the freeze did not affect the device, please consider either wrapping, covering, or protecting the system.
The temperatures will be improving (above freezing) within the next 48 hours. Please check and be prepared to repair and replace all the valves in your system, if needed.
Please share with family and friends.
