I do whats comfortable, did not suggest it was wrong. I said WHY !!!!!. Yup, we got some dirty,air, but I don't need to coat my water lines with oily water.
I just think people need to be aware of what they are blowing into those water lines, will it hurt probably not, but why !!!
Lets get back to the why!!. If I thought for one second they needed to be blown out, I would do it. I open the two low points, open up everything that I can ,and that lets the air in , and that lets the low point valves to drain even more. I get very minimal water coming out, before I see antifreeze.
As far as the water line to the water heater I can see the purpose of using air there, and I also see one pointing out the anti syphon valve on the blank tank flush freezing ,now thats something I can listen too.
I just don't see the wisdom in blowing out something thats going to get filled with antifreeze, if there is I missed it . I have a friend that does not want to use antifreeze ,so he blows out the lines , I get that .
