Air Compressor Necessary for 110 PSI Tires

[jbeletti]

Try pumping air into the water heater and using it as a pressure tank.

Interesting idea.

That would work for the hot water lines but for the cold?

Interesting idea.

Cool little compressor John. Looks like a great little inflator.

Not sure how it will work to dewinterize as it doesn't look like it has a tank to build/store pressure in. I assume you have RV antifreeze in your lines? Perhaps if you pressurize your lines with the compressor and open a tap until the pressure is gone, close the tap to build pressure and repeat.... Let us know how it works out.

I used my Sears Craftsman Air Compressor with a 120 PSI tank when I blew out the lines when we got home from the Tucson Rally . . . but I will try the Kobalt next time!

I'll post here when I try it (Lowe's/Kobalt Air Compressor) this fall to blow out the water lines!

Or maybe we can do a test run at one of our summer Rallies . . .

If you have already drained the water heater and have the by-pass closed . . . an air tank shouldn't be needed to blow out the water lines!

Again . . . I'l try this out next time I get a chance.
