Oil or Oilless Air Compressor/Winterizing
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2014 4:06 pm
I winterized my Northern Wi. M.H. every year after Deer Season.
I have been doing this for last few years.
I blow out the waterlines and then pump in RV antifreeze.
This summer I had the M.H. plumbing redone with all Pex.
I saw an article about winterizing a M.H. and the guy said not to blow out the waterlines with anything except an oil free compressor as the oil will get in with the air and coat the piping/pex tubing, and that you can really never get it all out and it could leave a bad taste in the water.
The water with the old piping was not good at all and now that I have all brand new pex tubing the water quality is much better.
I don't want to do anything to change my water quality.
The M.H. is our vacation and hunting getaway so the water is not run everyday to keep the pipes flowing clean.
I put in a lot of money to pex the M.H. and the water is much better now ,I don't mind spending around $100.00 bucks to get an oiless compressor.
What do all of you think.
Thanks.
