What Happens During a Professional Irrigation Spring Start-Up?

Written By Nick Khilling

When temperatures rise in Northwest Arkansas, your irrigation system needs more than just turning the water back on. A professional spring start-up ensures your system runs efficiently, protects your investment, and prevents costly mid-season breakdowns.

At ABI Systems, a spring start-up is a full-system inspection and performance optimization — not just repressurization.

 

Step 1: Safe System Repressurization

Improper repressurization can crack fittings or damage valves.

We:

  • Slowly pressurize the mainline

  • Inspect backflow devices

  • Check for immediate leaks

  • Ensure proper PSI levels

This prevents shock damage after winter dormancy.
