I am a DIY, and have to winterize a summer cottage next weekend and plan to do so by blowing the water out of the incoming lines with compressed air. I want to connect the air tank to where the inlet comes from the well pump, right under the house, apply air pressure then open each cold water valve until air is coming out and not water. The HW tank (40 gal) will be drained prior to this and then the same will be done for he HW lines. I will then put antifreeze in all traps, and in toilet tank and flush through. There is only kitchen sink, bath sink, shower, toilet and HWH. All are within 10 feet.
Can anyone find anything wrong with this plan? I cannot find a pro plumber in this area who will do this for me at this time so must do it myself, but I don't want to screw up and have breakage. I have already pulled the pump from the pumphouse over the shallow well. And also, do you think that a 10 gal compressed air tank with 100 lbs pressure will do the job?
thanks,
Rick.
