An air tank? Curious about that. On my unit I just utilize the bypass valve on my hot water tank so no air or water can seep into it while blowing out the lines. Do you leave your plug out all...

The main reason I use compressed air only is because it works. I also don't have to put any antifreeze in my lines that I'll have to purge out in the Spring. And don't forget, that antifreeze costs...
