Winterized the pool but forgot to run the spa blower

[Damsroy]

Hi,

First closing on my new pool finished earlier this spring. Blew all the lines from the equipment pad using a modified pump lead and a cyclone blower. Airlocked the pool floor return. Also blew the spa intake from the spa after emptying the spa totally And then refilled the spa with pool water after capping off the jets and return.

After putting the cover on and thinking I was done I realized I didn’t run the blower. Is that a necessary step? Is there water coming back in the blower lines When blower not in use?

I will remove cover and redo the steps for the spa if needed and blow the blower lines….but honestly would prefer not too.

Any advice welcome

Damien

Yes, water can backflow into the spa air line when the blower is off. You just don;t know what your situation really is.

Open up the spa cover, lower the spa water level below the jets, run the blower, and then blow out the lines again.

Thank you @ajw22. This is what I ended up doing.
few to no water come out but this was the price to pay for sleeping well at night.
