If something breaks, it's just another opportunity to learn to fix something. To each their own.
Having hired sprinkler companies for years to do so, I would watch them blow every last bit of water from each zone. More recently, I realized that's just for show. When water expands to ice, it only increases by 9%. No need to get 100% out. Get 30% out and it should have plenty of room to expand without cracking the pipes.
Remember a plumber telling me he could protect a sprinkler system from freezing using a pancake compressor. Instead of asking him how, I thought he was wrong.
I've realized I was wrong for not asking him how.
I have a 20 gallon compressor and before the 9% freezing expansion realization, would run each zone thru 2 cycles to make sure ALL the water was out. Now, only run each zone once. Know for sure that with 20 gallons most of the water is blown out with the one pass.
With this one guessing you still may have to cycle through each zone 2 -3 x.
There's a chart on this page [northerntool.com] that shows how much air is typically needed for a variety of tools. Your specific tools might be different, so check the manufacturer specs before ruling it out.

This units boasts of 135 Max PSI with 3.7 SCFM at 40 PSI and 2.3 SCFM at 90 PSI.
From an article I found online:
How to Blow Out Sprinkler Systems
Using an air compressor with the recommended PSI and CFM ratings (50 PSI and 20-50 CFM)
I'm new to this, but graphing the data in my head leads me to believe this compressor can't swing 50 PSI at 20-50 CFM. Yes, SCFM is different than CFM. In comparison to SCFM, CFM values are always a smaller number as they are calculated at a higher pressure which decreases the volume of gas and makes it smaller.
So.. Someone smarter than me, please help me understand if this thing can blow out sprinkler lines or pool lines. I'm assuming it can't.. Or isn't ideal for it, at minimum.
Thanks!
For a pool, I've seen people use Shop Vacs on exhaust. Don't need the higher pressure that you do to pop up the sprinkler heads so they can spray. You do need the higher volume of air though…thus the shop vac technique. The downside to messing up on pool is much higher than sprinkler system. Some people have concrete decks around the pool which would need to be dug up to make the repair. New concrete isn't going to match the old concrete. Much easier to dig up grass and replace, than the grief with concrete or other expensive decking. That's why my neighbor and myself pay someone to winterize the pool but we blow out our own sprinkler lines. Also, other pool items like heaters, pumps, filters are a lot more expensive to replace than a short length of sprinkler line or a sprinkler head.
The vertical compressor takes up less space, but they do cost about 2 or 3x.

Or for a big property you rent a tow along compressor with super high volume.
Those are the only ways I've done it.

Just ordered the Briggs & Stratton BSAK621 62-Piece Air Tool Kit mentioned in an older thread...hoping this compressor at least works for small jobs. You don't think it will?
I've been "saving" a lot of money at Walmart today. Ordered the craftsman nailers from Lowes too.

Personally I have an 8-zone sprinkler. This is my first winter in this house and few of my neighbors simply pitch in and rent a small pancake sprinkler and run it through each zone once. They said they've been doing it for over 10 years without issue. I read up and found the same - don't need to get it all out. So figured it was okay. That's what we did earlier this year. Cost us $10 each. Hoping I'm not being penny wise pound foolish. 🙄
I don't get it. The yearly maintenance also includes fixing broken/worn heads, testing, etc. How much are you guys paying for your yearly maintenance to want to avoid the expense? I understand saving even a few bucks, but the company I switched to is around $160. It just seems like asking for trouble to go to completely DIY.

My guess is the percentage of number of households with a sprinkler system is in the low single digits in my county.
