Thanks at Catanzaro, just finished doing mine. Used the 2 3/8 saw hole and that was a perfect size hole made thanks to Tomolena

Thanks for the comments, this is a great site!!! So, question about putting the "heavy duty" cover that you can walk on...do you guys use any of those special pool cover rollers? I read some good info here just wanted to see if you guys can share some tips/tricks to put the cover on...thanks...

I did have one question for you experts, are there any benefits clearing the pipes from the pump vs skimmer on my particular setup? I read clearing from skimmer can/may cause leaks due to pressure from vacuum... What wld happen if i decided to clear the pipes from skimmer vs the pump? It seems...

@Cantazaro, i think you're 100% right, but i read so many great things about the cyclone, and not so many great reviews about different air compressors and shop vacs that first of all I dont owned any of these 2 items at my home, and with the wife not trusting me with closing the pool, that i...

I don't have a main drain in the pool and 1 skimmer w/2 returns so I believe this makes things a lil easier for me. :) Thanks for the assist.

Thanks all for the assist, @Catanzaro, so I would input the 1.5 hose inside the pump gasket - 1) going towards the skimmer - once I clear the pipe leading to skimmer 2) I than move the hose within the pump basket leading towards the pump, and this will clear the return lines, correct?

Pool_Medic, I apologize for my ignorance, but which would be considered the "unions" on the pump suction & pressure side? I see I have 3 unions in place, one close to pump (right pipe coming from ground), another in between filter and pump and the last one on left pipe near the leap frog system...

Thanks for the response Trivetman….my plan was to bring the water level, lowered below the skimmers (maybe an 1.5-2" below). Then clear lines thru the skimmer, plug both returns, and once cleared...move to opening pump and filter, chlorinator to drain all water. I think I might have this...

Thanks a lot Hootie, I've been doing my research in here there's a lot of great information to read. So, let me ask this, once I'm getting to clear lines thru the skimmer and the cyclone is connected to skimmer and air/bubbles is being pushed out from the returns...at this time I plug both...

As stated, this is my current setup. I only have 1 skimmer and 2 returns with no main drain. My question is...if I'm draining lines from the skimmer with the cyclone vac, do I need to close any off any of the 2 valves in the equipment pad here? Currently by looking at both lines coming from the...

Thanks for the response. I need to find out how to post pictures of my pool setup. I'll update this thread soonest.

Moved from here Thanks for the links, I ended buying the cyclone vac w/attachments provided. I'll provide pics of my pool setup. However, my in-ground pool setup is fairly simple. I have a 15,000 gallon vinyl pool, one speed pump, 1 skimmer and 2 returns with no main drain. My pool deepest is...
