I use a 1hp jet pump in my basement to supply water to a sprinkler system. I live in the northeast, so winter's coming. The sprinkler guy is coming to blow out the lines.
What do I do with the Wayne jet pump over the winter? Right now there's still water in it. I will disconnect the supply line from the lake and blow it out. Do I need to get all the water out of the pump even though it wont' freeze?
Also, will it hurt the pump if I don't use the sprinklers for a week or more in summer? The supply line retains prime, so there is always water sitting in the pump.
thanks
Doug
