How to Winterize a Sprinkler System - Blow Out Method with Compressor

[@Majeskty]

Well done and very handy information. Been having my sprinkler system blown out for many years to original company. However it is now about $80 here in Omaha, NE for this service. I have considered doing it myself and now that I am retired there is more time for a DIY for such! I have your adapter in my shopping cart and like the shut off valve as part of assembly (other video's say to open this valve slowly when adding air to system, not sure of your thoughts). However I am surprised the shorter hose for listing is more expensive than the longer versions with 14", 17", 20" offerings. Very clear instructions and how to accomplish the end of season sprinkler blow out! Thanks for your video and very nice presentation.

Lived in NY 30 years and I never thought of that! Actually don’t even know if we had a hose.

Good video. How long would it take to blow out 7 zones with this size air compressor?

[@JayOfAllTrades1]

@@JP-vq7wg My sprinkler system is actually 7 zones as well and it takes me about 30-40 minutes which includes setting up the compressor and pneumatic lines. I blow each zone out 2 times just for good measure.

@@JayOfAllTrades1thanks! What PSI do you set the air compressor to? I have PVC rigid pipe.

[@JayOfAllTrades1]

@@JP-vq7wg you can set it between 80-100 PSI. If you had polyurethane piping, you wouldn’t want to go above 50 PSI but your PVC pipes can handle more pressure
