i don't have a pump and i didn't clean my tubing last year. i have @ 800 ft. of 1/2 in. main and 800-1000 ft. of 5/15 in laterals and drops. (i forget exactly) i need to clean it. since it isn't mounted that well, i plan to bring it back home and do what i need to do right here.
i thought about mounting some sort of a "Y" connector to the compressor and having two separate fittings for each size tube i plan to clean (interchangeable). on the other side of the "Y", i plan to mount a tube to drop in a vat of solution. my plan is to use the compressed air to suck up and blast the solution through the tubing.
i'll probably separate all the laterals from the main line and do each one separately. i know it will be a pain, but i think they really need it and i don't know how well it would work to leave them connected with this rube goldberg device.
what do you all think?
