I've searched the depths of the Internet, and I cannot find instructions on how to build a CO2 blowout bag system. I hired a company a month ago to blow out my lines, and the tech's system was leaking to the point where he couldn't generate enough pressure to clear the lines. I have a full CO2 tank (from a reef aquarium), a regulator and an 80 PSI canvas flushing bag is arriving this week (Petersen 102-002...which was the highest PSI rating I could find), but I cannot find instructions for connecting the bag (3/4" hose thread) to the CO2 regulator (which uses a special gas thread in NA).
Anyone have details on building the hose system? Also, I just tried using 80 PSI of water in the cheap/rubber blowout bag Lowe's sells, and the clog isn't budging at all. I've read stories about potentially having an air lock, so any advice is appreciated! Also, in the CO2 threads/videos I have reviewed, most people are not using a regulator to blow out the lines. I've read horror stories about ruptured lines underground, so I wonder how companies (including the one I hired) are using straight CO2 tanks without a regulator.
Thanks again,
Nick
PS - I had all of the mosaic tile in our pool replaced this year, and the masonry team didn't bother covering the drains during the demolition process.
