What psi do you guys set your compressor at when blowing out your lines?

Thanks,

Bob

I think my manual says 35-40 psi. I don't have it handy but the pressure is low.

IIRC some people have said 40 lbs. don't want to set it too high, volume is more important than pressure IMHO. have a faucet or two open when you crank it on.

I use 40 psi and it's served me well for ten years and multiple winterizings every year. I do feel strongly that a air to water fill fitting is used. Another poster on a similar thread says he uses 100 psi and I think I'll experiment with higher pressure this weekend. I'm currently winterized (40 psi) and I would like to see if any additional pressure removes any more water.

Just connect it to the same water pressure regulator you use on your coach and it will restrict the amount of air pressure the same way it does with water. You can buy the correct connections at most hardware stores.
