Here is a horrible video I made showing how to setup a blowout for winter plus a new item I added so my "dry pump" will prime quickly. I've mostly been washing just weekends this year due to a position I took and I've been draining my tank to keep the algae away. Those dry starts even when undoing my whip line from the hose reel are what probably made me have to repack my pump. It still had to overcome the airlock and water in the boiler to get primed. So I tee'd off an 8 ft whip line and ball valve right off the pump to get the water flowing. Let's see how well it works with a completely dry pump....
