Right, one is the furnace and the other is for the water heater exhaust. No air intake.

Catanzaro, it seems as though I locked the main drain and then also locked the skimmer which you’re saying is pretty much unnecessary because of how the skimmer is winterized. The past 2 years, the oool people closing always had the handle pointing in the direction they are now in the pics as to...

Right now in the picture everything is closed as I thought I did it correctly. The handle is my little hand if I were to emulate a clock. Disregard the arrows completely. When everything is open in the summer, the handle is pointed to the pump and both the drain and the skimmer would be open...

I’m sorry for the confusion I caused you. Right now, as pictured, I’m calling the valves in the 6 o’clock closed position, with the handle pointing to 6 o'clock. I think you are calling that 12 o'clock as the arrow is pointing to 12 (which is totally understandable!!!). When the handle is...

Catanzaro, your labeling is correct. When the valve was at the 3pm position, no air would flow to the main drain because that is the suction from the main drain so I thought the water would come in to the pipe because that is how it normally brings water to the pump. With the blower on, and...

Here are a few pics, the left valve controls the returns to the pool (left pipe controls a cuddle cove and having it to the right controls the other 3 returns). The right valve is the suction side. The left pipe is the skimmer and having the shut off at 3 o’clock (looking down at the shut off)...

Will do tomorrow once there’s light outside. Thanks for your time and assistance.

I just closed my pool for the first time and would like to make sure I did it correctly. I’ve read the forum posts regarding blowing out the lines but as you’re aware, every pool is different! After making sure the pool was clean and ph and chlorine were at the correct levels, I drained the...

I threaded and the rest are rubber plugs. Right, and the pool guy who installed it is not a help unless I'm paying him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried closing it today. Did each return but still had a few bubbles coming out of a couple. Bad plugs? They were only used one year prior to this. Also, I have an equalizer port (?) I think. Not sure when to blow this out. I think I did the process correctly but the equalizer port still has...

Thanks for the info Marian. Going a few more inches below my skimmer would still be above the returns. I'm thinking with the plugs it'd be ok but would love some reassurance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello again. Was able to clear up my water thanks to you guys. Now I thought I'd try closing myself but now I'm second guessing. In order to lower the water to 2" below my returns, I would only have 22" of water in my shallow end and the top two stars would be out of the water. With a liner...

Sorry. Wrong thread.

Sounds good. Thanks Marian! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope. Total Chlorine or Combined Chlorine is 22. I prob used the wrong abbreviation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
