Hey everyone,
Sorry if this topic has been discussed ad nausea here but I am at a loss. I have a 10 Zone sprinkler system in that I am trying to blow out myself to save some money. I have a setup that looks similar to this: http://www.sacreativeservices.com/forum_stuff/febco.jpg but without "C." I swore last year when I paid to have the system blown out, they hooked their compressor up to A. When I do this, all the air just comes out the top of the backflow preventer. I have the bottom blue valve closed along with the main shutoff line. I have the top left blue valve open. I also have all the sprinkler valves closed in hopes to build up about 40PSI in the supply line and then stand at the controller and cycle each valve. I am unable to get any pressure when hooking the compressor to A or B. What am I doing wrong? TIA, Derek |
