    so how many gallon or gph? would one recommend to safely blow out one zone at a time.
    I think that would be specific to your setup depending on how many sprinkler heads you have and length of pipe.

    How big of a compressor do you have? That's the biggest issue I ran into. Couldn't get enough pressure when the water was almost non-existent in the system.
    I've got a 20G compressor. Just saw a neighbor getting his professionally done with what looked to be a 15G compressor.

    Air pressure must not exceed 50 pounds per square inch (psi) for systems with polyethylene piping, and 80 psi for systems with PVC piping.
    Edit: just finished the job. 4 zones, about 1m30s each zone at 40psi. Compressor turned on once.

    Yeah I finished mine with a new 11 gallon pig. My compressor is still shit (1.5hp, think it is really only about 1.1hp). Going to buy a miketa 3hp with 5 gallon tank and should be good.
