It takes a lot of compressed air volume to blow out irrigation systems. The average homeowner compressor won't get 'er done.
We're talking about a residential installation . Trust me , it can be done . It doesn't have to be bone dry . Blow out the majority of the water and whatever is left has room to expand . I used to help my buddy do it every year .
