That sounds like it would work. Thanks.

That’s not a bad idea.

That’s what i was afraid of. Thanks.

When I blow the lines for closing how can I blow a and b and still shut them down? I don’t usually blow both at the same time I blow the skimmer and close it off and then blow the main drain.

That would help me do what I want to do. I’ll have over think this for a few more days. Thanks for the help.

Thanks.

I agree Jim, I was just trying to not have to use the screw just in case I needed to turn it off real quick. I’ve never had to turn it off real quick in the last 26 years so I doubt I will really need to worry about it in the future. Thanks for the quick reply Jim.

I need to replace an old valve that has stuck in place. I have a 3 way Jandy valve that I can use. 99% of the time all three pipes will be in the open position. I occasionally will shut the skimmer valve to prime the pump but that isn’t very often during the season with my pump running 24/7...

And we did have a larger than normal amount of snow.

The light bulb just went off. The top level of water has zero FC so it by itself grows algae. I will have to pay attention to that. Thanks guys.

I still shutter at the drill sergeant voice. Even though it was 48 years ago, I bet if my wife played a loud speaker of reveille in my bedroom one morning that I would jump out of bed at attention. I might just have to add some LC mid winter, not by choice but by need. I do have a mesh cover...

Newdude, I do have another question for you. For the last 6 yrs that I have used the TFP method for closing, I have brought my FC to SLAM level and let it drift back down to 10 ppm and closed a clean clear pool. I did the same procedure last fall and I open to this mess. I do not use polyquat 60...

All noted, thanks again for the quick reply.
