I successfully closed by myself.
I vacuumed the pool this morning.
Tested the water and shocked the pool.
I did not buy into the algaecide this year. Just not using it.
Started to drain water off via backwash/rinse/ waste and using 2 sump pumps.
Disconnected the pipe from filter and blew the line as much as I could. I then reversed it and suctiononed the line. Poured antifreeze down skimmer hole and added the gizmo. Went back to pump and removed manifold and SWG. Loosened fittings at heater and blew heater out.
Blew all return lines and capped. So here's my helper... I cut a pool noodle to shove one end in the vac hose and the other in the return line so I could cap while it was still blowing. Worked so well!!!
The only line I cannot blow is the slide line, I suction it and add a gallon of antifreeze to every line.
I finally covered it all by myself.
I pulled the plugs on the pump and put all my eyeball fittings in the pump basket. I started at 10am was finished by 3pm. I'll clean the filter this weekend.
