[QUOTE="Gunner, post: 1191025, member: 14221"] I rigged a connection with a air hose fitting on one end and a quick disconnect garden hose fitting on the other end. On the other end of the hose I have one of those garden hose Y connections with the shut off valves. One side feeds the water tank, the other side is open. When I need to drain it I hook my air compressor to the hose and blow most of the water out of the hose into the tank. I then open the valve on the second side of the Y and what little water is left in the hose is blown out through that. I have used it 2 years now and have not had the hose freeze yet. It does get some ice junks in it but does not freeze solid anywhere. When I hook the air compressor to the hose I have the compressor off and empty. After making the connection, I start the compressor. I "think" that the slow build up of pressure helps to keep the air from pushing through the water as much. [/QUOTE]
