Is it necessary to remove antifreeze ( pink RV kind) from the lines ? If so how / at what point in opening procedure is this done? I have a sand filter with a waste line if that’s relevant.
Thank you!
Thank you!
No. Just let it go back into the pool. It will get consumed by the chlorine during your start-up process.Is it necessary to remove antifreeze ( pink RV kind) from the lines ?

If you are referring to purging AF from the suction line to WASTE, sure. You can. Should only take a few seconds. Then put back into filter mode and purge the return lines.So do this as the first step in opening up?
Ha. No worries. Since you are opening your pool from its winter sleep, there should be no need to clean your sand filter. At least not right now. Your first order of business is to get everything connected and start-up your system to get water moving. When doing the initial pump start, one suggestion was to leave the MPV in WASTE so that the antifreeze from your skimmer to the pump can get pushed out to the grass. Even if it went back to the pool it's not a deal-breaker, but a few seconds to WASTE is easy. After that, put the MPV back to filter and let your system run like normal. Any antifreeze on the pressure/return side will blow out from the jets into the pool, but that's okay.Sorry you are going to have to spell it out for me :
Please ask us to slow it down or rewind, anytime.Sorry you are going to have to spell it out for me
Exactly.Even if it went back to the pool it's not a deal-breaker, but a few seconds to WASTE is easy.
Also exactly. You'll save half of it from going in the pool with very little effort.Any antifreeze on the pressure/return side will blow out from the jets into the pool, but that's okay
