Have a few questions on closing my newly installed pool. I had the pool company come out last year and it seemed pretty straight forward but since then have added my deck jets and waterfall feature so have a couple more questions so it gets done correctly. I am wanting to do it myself so I am going to buy a 3HP cyclone Vacuum/Blower that everyone recommended on this site, along with a few fittings and flex hose. Questions are
1. Where do I blow the water fall from? the pump? Is it OK to blow through the heater like that? The main feed line to the water fall is a 2-1/2'' line if that makes a difference or not. Plan on pouring some pool antifreeze down the waterfall line once blown out, is that ok?
2. Where do I blow the deck jets from? Really same questions as above, assume through the pump? Then will plug off with the supplied black threaded fitting plugs
3.In regards to the pool it self, the pool company last year blew through the pump the entire time, but it seems like a lot of people on here blow through the skimmer? I will need an extension as I keep the pool level the same throughout the winter and do not drain below the skimmer during the winter. Should the main drain be blown down first, then air-locked with the 3 way Jandy valve? Is the 3 way valve even sufficient to keep the airlock and how do you know if its been breached throughout the winter?
Thanks folks appreciate the help
