To (mis)quote Roy Scheider's character, Brody, in Jaws, "You're gonna need a bigger cart." With over 20 miles of irrigation pipe buried beneath the surface of the golf course, it takes a lot of air to remove the water and prevent potential damage due to freezing during the winter months.
Still, this gargantuan compressor was a little larger than we typically receive-- as you can see, it blocks the entire pump station behind it. Fortunately, despite its size, it performed like a gentle giant. One of the keys to a smooth system blow-out, is the pressure regulating valve we connect between the compressor's discharge hose and the irrigation system.
With the system now winterized, we will be hoping for some occasional precipitation to allow our seeded and sodded areas to progress during the winter months.
