Hello...I would like to blow the lines of my sprinkler system myself. The local irrigation company is charging $110 (includes opening the system as well). I need to buy an air compressor anyway but want to make sure I purchase one that can also handle the irrigation system.
I've read low PSI and high CFM are what I need. Minimum CFM I believe as posted should be 10 @ 40 PSI. However, I cannot find any air compressor that is capable of 10CFM @ 40psi - Sears, Lowes, Home Depot etc.... I don't want to spend $2000 on a compressor so I was wondering if you really need 10CFM@ 40 or will 5CFM@40 work??? Dewalt has a compressor for about $300 that does 5 CFM @ 40PSI - 4 gallon tank. I also found one capable of 7 CFM @ 40 from Ace Hardware for $370.
Please advise...I have a small pice of land 1/4 acre and have a 4 zone sprinkler system.
Thanks for your help!
