Every fall I read the dozens of post recommending to just blow out the lines, then every spring I read the dozens of post about cracked fittings and leaking water lines…
So there are choices but the right way never seems to be the quickest way nor the cheapest way…
The problem as I see it is the old adage, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
Lots of people are willing to offer the advice of 'blowing out the lines' but not very many will tell you the PROPER way to do it.
They need 50 psi constantly for several minutes straight. Those little homeowner compressors from the big box stores and home centres are not up to the job. They just don't have the reserve capacity and can't generate pressure fast enough to maintain 50 psi on what is effectively an open line.
A small compressor is a perfect recipe for freeze damage.
I agree with that completely, good information thanks, but there are still effective choices that can be made, but the right way or proper way never comes down to being the quickest and the cheapest way…
My compressor alone won’t do it… I tried blowing the lines out with it and 2 days later was able to blow out another pint of water…
Even many of the owner’s manuals don’t always give a full and proper method for doing it…
My BILs famous last words were that’s good enough… sometimes maybe even most of the time he was right…
That is until he wasn’t… :B
