Avoid a Costly Freeze: Winter Tip for Homeowners with Irrigation Systems.

If your Benbrook home has an irrigation system, there’s a good chance you also have a reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow prevention device.

It’s a key safety feature designed to keep our drinking water clean by stopping dirty water from flowing backward into the system.

However, when winter arrives, these devices can freeze and crack if not properly maintained, resulting in costly repairs and potential water hazards.

The fix is simple: take a few minutes to winterize your backflow assembly before freezing temps hit. It’s a small task that can save you from a big headache later.
