Blowing Out Lines
Was winterizing my MH today and was using air to blow out the lines. I hooked the compressor up to the MH and started winterizing before I realized the compressor was set at 50PSI. I was almost done...

I go around and check all my faucets with the lines pressurized to make sure all the water is out, including the toilet. Mind you I'm talking about city water inlet not water holding tanks or water pump as we don't use them. Then I open low point drains, and usually only get about a cup of water out at the most. Takes about 20 minutes to do, and one gallon of pink stuff. Not saying my way is the best method, just trying to point this out to all the naysayers. What ever works best for you is what you should do. Opinions will vary including mine. And the pressure I use is about 50psi.
You'll be surprised by how much water blowing the lines dosn't get out. Just pump some pink stuff through and see how much more water comes. You'll be surprised.
