turn the water on. it'll blow out the sprinkler heads. duh.

Well that's obvious, but I thought that blowing antifreeze all over the
lawn
was not good for the environment as well as the grass.

When I say add antifreeze, I'm only talking like 1/2 cup.
Diluted with the water already in there, which is no more than 1/2
cup, I thought it would be ok

Suppose 1% of the inground sprinkler owners in your state thought the same
way. How much antifreeze would wind up in storm sewers and ultimately in
rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, etc.?

Again, going back to the other poster, this is the non-toxic stuff.


I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with all of the components and processes
that go into the manufacturing of antifreeze. I did not know that there was
a type that is environmentally friendly. I understand your pain though. I
would hate to have to pay the landscaping company to come back again and
blow out the lines around my place.
