I like to use the rain barrels in my front yard since they are higher than the ones in my back yard. That gives me slightly more pressure and a better flow rate. They can also drain all the way down. Unfortunately all four of them were empty the other day. So I disconnected the tubing and connected it to the barrels in the back yard. In the process I got a lot of air in the line. I was able to capture some video of the air escaping the clear purge line. So now I know for sure that it's working.

Drip irrigation air purge video.
A little over a month ago I wrote about adding a vertical clear tubing to my drip irrigation system. It allows me to see the water level in my rain barrels. It also provides a path for air to escape the system.
