17 Feb How to Check Your Irrigation Pump When Freezing Temperatures Hit
Irrigation systems are vital for farms and properties across the Magic Valley, but when winter is here, those pumps need proper winter checkups.
Homeowners and agricultural customers in Rupert, Kimberly, and Twin Falls who skip winter check ups often face expensive repairs in spring.
Why irrigation pumps are vulnerable
Irrigation pumps often sit exposed to the elements. When temperatures drop, any water left in pipes or pump housings can freeze and expand—cracking fittings, seals, or even the pump casing itself.
Winter preparation steps:
- Drain all irrigation lines completely
- Shut off and disconnect power safely
- Remove and store exposed components if possible
- Inspect seals and fittings for wear before shutdown
- Cover and insulate pump housing
Even small amounts of trapped water can cause major structural damage.
