My configuration is that my auto cleaner line comes out of and back into (after the booster pump) the return line. I have two returns on one line. My problem is that I am blowing the return line and auto cleaner line (since the auto cleaner line is tied into it) at the same time. I used my Cyclone for approximately 1 minute and it shooting water and bubbles out of the pool, so I capped the closest return first and then let it blow for another minute or so and capped the second return. There was only a fine mist coming out of the autocleaner line as well. My problem is that when I put antifreeze in the return line, I only get about 1.5 gallons before the line is full, which can't be right because the line is about 60 - 80 feet (guessing there).
Could the air in the line prevent the antifreeze from filling up the return line or am I just not blowing long enough?

Or should I cap the cleaner line to make sure I am getting enough pressure through the return lines?

I will say that I tried this process twice and the second time, it took about 10 seconds before the antifreeze came through the return if that means anything! First time closing!!! Arghhhh!!!
