I'm trying to be able to clear my lines easily and repeatedly.
I want to use the RV to go skiing on weekends, but I don't want to have to use all of the Anti-Freeze each time, and then run all of the AF out of the system before it is usable.
Everyone keeps talking about pressure, but no one seems talk about volume. I have a pool air line blower that has great volume... but next to no pressure. And I have a portable air compressor for the car that can eventually put 100lbs of pressure in the tires... but it might take half an hour to do it.
I need a combination of Pressure AND Volume, don't I?
What kind of compressors do you guys use? Do you use a regulator (built in/add on)? Do you just let it run with the faucet open, or do you close it... build up some pressure... then POP it open to blow any water out?
I used my pool blower and got good solid streams of water out... but now there is air coming out of the faucet, but it is still sort of gurgling down inside.
Help/thoughts are greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!
