Skimmer basket and 2 drains in the floor. The floor drains T somewhere underground, I suspect very close to the drains. Then the drain line and skimmer line run up to the pump. Each line has an individual shutoff valve (pictured with the main drains off). From the pump runs through the other pool equipment including the sand filter, salt cell, NG heater, and out through a homemade solar heater with bypass valves.
First, what position should the filter valve be in to do the blowouts. I assume if it's closed, I would only be blowing out the skimmer and main drain lines. Can I blow out the returns as well by closing the main drain valve and putting the filter in recirculate?
This is only the second year closing First year, the builder did it, and I'm considering calling them to do it, but looking at doing it myself as well.
If it helps, frost line here is about 6". Maybe 10" in a bad year.
