Hi All-- have read previous winterizing threads. My question is about the about the HW heater, and the process in general. So, if I drain pipes as much as possible, and drain the WH heater as well, then I shut all down, attach my 6 gal Porter-Gable compressor to an outside hose bib with the adapter, set pressure at 60 lbs, then wait for pressure to build up? how long? how will I know when to open taps? is it when the compressor holds at 60 psi? how long will it take to pressurize an average-size (40-50 gal) HW heater (I have a small, one bath cottage)?
Thanks!
Thanks!
