How to plug or pressure test from a jandy valve

Pool is leaking and I cannot find out where, my plan was to plug all the returns with pool plugs and start pressure testing one by one. And planned to build something similar to this in my local hardware store:

You should not pressure test pool lines with AIR. Pressurizing with water is much safer. If you do it with air, use VERY little PSI...a leak will show up even with low psi. With my rig, I was able to get about 1psi just using my lungs. Do not stand in front of the plugs if you are going to use air. They can come out like a bullet.
Yes I want to try with water. Need to build the rig (will post another thread to ask about which parts), but first I want to figure out how to plug it

So I could get water into the system through the spigot, close all the intake valves, and plug all the returns, that would test the entire system (minus the intakes) ???
