I can't find any posts about winterizing lines in a plaster spa floor. I've got 4 lines coming from the floor-- two to supply the jet pumps and two to the main pump.
If you don't drain the spa, do you stand in the water to remove the grills and then blow/plug the lines? Or do you always remove the water?
I've had pool guys do my winterizing most years. Some remove all the water, but others don't. This year I'm on my own since the new company I hired first showed up without a proper blower to handle the 100' run to the pool from equipment that was at a lower elevation, and then didn't return today when they were supposed to. Great company. Didn't even return calls/texts.
I already used a shop vac that worked fine for the skimmers and the spa returns, but it couldn't push enough to blow out the pool returns that are submerged, and the main drain. I'll be using a compressor for those.
Thanks for the last-minute help.
