Hi Everyone,
Trying to blow out my main drain (like so many others on this forum) but can't force enough air through with the shop vac. However, I do have access to an air compressor. My problem is that the compressor wont fit my pipes.
According to the compressor’s owner, it fits a 1/2" pipe. I have 2" PVC and I need to blow out the line from the garage, which is (horizontally) 30' from the drains and probably 6' vertically.
Complicating things further is that I have to blow out the drain where my pump (Pentair Superflo VST) attaches to the skimmer/drain line. Here are some pics:
As far as I can tell, the inner diameter of that pipe is 1 7/8" - it fits my vac hose perfectly… but said vac does not have what it takes.
At this point I'm open to any suggestions on how to connect to that line and reduce it down to half inch so I can use it with the compressor. Or if anyone has any other ideas I've overlooked, I'm all ears!
Thanks in advance!
