cleaning short lines

[butler]

Hello, looking for some advice....I have about 40-50 taps on 5/16" line, would like to leave the lines up for the year, but don't have a pump to clean them. what is the easiest way to clean these short lines so that I can leave them out there...

Buy a backpack sprayer. Pull each tap and give each one a good rinse with water ( hot water works better). Let it drain and plug each spout.

Do you have access to a garden hose within reach of the taps? If so, connect the hose to the end of your 5/16". AS you pull taps, the water will shoot out the tap.

thats what I plan on doing. I have running water in my saphouse and will send it right up the 3/4" mainline

I use a back pack sprayer full of hot water for my short runs (20 to 40 taps). Send a squirt down each tap and let them drain. Go back a little later and plug them. Worked pretty slick last year for me.
