turn the water on. it'll blow out the sprinkler heads. duh.


Well that's obvious, but I thought that blowing antifreeze all over the lawn
was not good for the environment as well as the grass.

Last week I blew out my sprinklers. I borrowed a compressor from a
friend. Then today while trying to hook up my hose to wash my car, I
accidentally hit the gate valve to my sprinkler feed line and a little
water got in to the PVC line that goes from my hose bib to the
sprinkler manifold under my deck. I was thinking if I poured a little
antifreeze into the line it would prevent any freezing from whatever
little water got in there. Any drawbacks to doing this?
(I have since removed the gate handle so it will not happen again).


How would you get the antifreeze out in the spring?
