Ed Kocher said the system should have been blown out on or about December 10, 2001. The vendor never came to do the job. After not hearing from the vendor, Ed made a follow-up call to him. The vendor stated he was “on vacation for a month”. The vendor did blow out the system on or about January 5, 2001. During the blowout, there was no apparent damage to the system reported by the vendor. However, one zone could not be turned on - it's a wiring problem and the vendor cannot find the buried valve.
