I have a 25K gallon Anthony and Sylvan in-ground plaster pool in Southeastern Pennsylvania that I have had for 4 years. I have decided that I would like to close the pool myself instead of A&S 400.00 to close my pool. My pool has 2 main drains, 2 skimmers and 2 returns lines and Automatic Pool Cleaner Port. My filter is DE with a 6-port multi valve. I know that I need to do the following:
1) Lower water level to just below the skimmer
2) Drain the DE filer and rinse and removed pleated filters
3) Remove drain plugs from main pump
I know that I need to blow out and plug the
1) Return Lines
2) Skimmers
3) Automatic Pool Cleaner
4) Main Drain
My question is what position(s) (normal operating or closed) should the shut off valves be for the (Skimmers, Automatic Pool Cleaner and Main Drain) when I blow out the Return Lines using the Air compressor hooked up to the port off of the 6-port-valve? Also, what position should the 6-port valve be in too?
