Hello all. Happy weekend!
I'm closing my pool for the season and have a few questions.
My usual closing plan is
Balance water/ Shock pool
drain the pool below the return line disconnect the filter/pump lines
put air pillows in place
cover the pool
bring the filter/pump inside
This year, I have a heat pump, so will disconnect that amd bring it inside as well.
I've never blown out the hose to the main drain. I read the pool school page on closing above ground pools and I didn't see any mention of blowing out lines, but have seen recommendations to do so elsewhere. It's never been a problem, but I'm wondering if I should start blowing out the that line. Thoughts?
Every year, I use 3 air pillows. Most years, Im lucky if one is still inflated by the time I open the pool. I'm planning on skipping the pillows this year. Should I maybe leave more water in the pool or have some other plan?
Thanks,
Mike
