In Reply to: Shower pipes spraying posted by Mark S on January 11, 1998 at 14:55:26:
: Anyone know what is the best pipe to use for a
: cottage that is shut down in the winter.
: My pipes are busting in the spring when I turn the well back on.
: I drain the pipes every fall.
: The shower is spraying water at the attachment of the piping.
: Any suggestions??
: Thanks
copper water pipes are the material of choice but i dont think the problem is with the pipes i bet the problem is with the draining procedure.
do you use a compressor, do you use antifreeze,do you open all low points, do you have properly located low points, do you open all high points??? i drain over 100 cottages every year and never have a break in the spring. have a plumber properly drain your camp watch him do it i bet you'll learn a few tricks.
