1) Shut off the water valve inside the home that feeds the sprinkler irrigation system
2) Open the release valve with a flat head screwdriver to allow air inside the system
3) Hook up your air compressor (100psi) to the release valve and open the first valve to allow air into the fist zone.
4) Let the air push all or most of the water out of the sprinkler heads until only air is coming out.
5) Close the first valve and open the second valve.
6) Open each remaining valve one at a time to push all of the remaining water out of the lines.
7) Keep the 2 ball valves 3/4 open to allow any excess water to expand and escape if frozen.
8) Open the release valves at the bottom of the lines to release any remaining water
9) Cover the sprinkler system with insulation to prevent any freeze damage

Not all sprinkler systems are set up the same. Most sprinkler irrigation systems have different on and off valves. By following these step by step instructions, you should be able to blow out your sprinkler irrigation sytem on your own.
