This is the land of $20-$40 blowouts. Bigger estate properties barely $65-70. Is it worth bothering with at those rates.....?

Only if your air pressure is set at a minimum of 120 psi

In my area one of the Most reputable irrigation Co. pushes a $99 special prepay every Spring. Turn on and basic system check, back flow test and Fall blowout.

So what have they done ? , they have locked up that customer for the season . And on the spring turn on they find 3 or 4 heads to replace and bill a seperate labor and parts invoice . Plus they have a influx of cash to use for operating expenses . Its a simple loss leader . I have something similiar coming into play this spring.
