    First time closing pool by myself

    So they are both returns..? But I still have to remove both hoses. How do I remove the bottom hose? Just unclamp it and pull it off? There’s nothing to disconnect on the inside? I have wandered off into left field. I am so ignorant of all of this. But I’m in the middle of it now and I must...

    Let me try to understand, you are demonstrating on the top hose and separating everything and you remove the top hose and attach it at the bottom hole, what happens at that top port you just took the hose off of? It is not clicking. I am stuck What did I miss? I feel like going and have a...

    First time closing pool by myself

    I won’t be doing this today then. I just ordered the cover I did because it’s measurement were what I needed. If an a“receiver” is needed where do I attach it. I can’t drill screw holes in the pool wall. It is a Hayward pool. I will have to step back and see. The jet fitting I see has a large...

    OK gulp I will do it. What is a barbed fitting? I am attaching th things I have. Does this look like the plug? I know I won’t get a definitive answer but just from glance. I’ve got enough tools I’m pretty sure. I have the oil filter pliers, big vice grips and an assortment of pliers plus channel...

    First time closing pool by myself

    This is the first time I have closed by myself but I have had it closed by a pool company every year and I wouldn’t think a worker would drain the pool down to about 1/3 to close that hole. I have been at the pool every time it’s been opened and the water has been just below the skimmer. Do you...

    Yes Absolutely I have bought everything I need but the vital thing I need to know and I would really appreciate anyone who knows anything about this “hole”and I will plug it but I need to know if can I plug it from the outside with an expandable plug? The water is so cold so it would be unsafe...

    I have asked a lot of questions about closing my above ground pool because I have never done it before. And it’s getting cold and I need to get it shut down quickly. I have got everything figured out except there is this one hole under the return jet and I’m going to put a picture of it on here...

    First time closing pool by myself

    This pool was here when I moved in 4 years ago. I can’t even swim but I needed to move and I had already been looking for a year. I am widowed and at 78 it’s getting to be more than I can do to take care of everything. A weeping willow tree fell in the pool last spring. It was in the pool for a...

    My problem and it seems to be getting bigger and more worrisome every hour. I posted a picture of the back pool wall. I am so unsure what I should do. There is the skimmer and on the other side is the jet and at one time there was a light in the pool because there is a lens and the jet...
