Blowing out lines
I have never blown out my lines before, and would like to know how its done. Do you only hook up by the water pump like adding antifreeze? How much air pressure do you need? Thank you for your help...

You get a Schrader style valve that screws into your city water connection. Should be available almost evry where, Walmart, hardware stores,
I apply about 35 pounds of air pressure from compressor. Compressor needs to have sufficient volume. I go through a open each valve one at a time and let blow until water stops coming out.
Dont' forget toilet and outside shower if equipped.
I do drain the water heater first, then blow out hot water lines. I then remove plug from water heater and make sure the all the water is gone from tank.
