It was finally time to blow out the inground sprinklers.  Actually, it was way past time, but the hurricane dicked the program over so we had to do it later rather than sooner.

In this video I show you how to do this using the homemade tool I have fashioned for this purpose.

As long as most of the water is expelled from the plastic piping to the heads, there is no danger of them bursting.  The idea is to get as much water out as possible.  Please bear in mind that depending on the installation of the heads, there may be areas where the pipe is lower, or there may be elbows or tees where the water may collect.

It is a good idea for peace of mind to hit each zone at least twice.  I usually do my zone 6 & 7 three times because they are in the backyard, and the pipe run is longer.
