Hello everyone, first time poster here. I closed down the pool yestreday and things went ok. I blew out all the lines and filled the skimmer lines with antifreeze, as well as the pump. I have two main questions.
1. ON one of the skimmer lines, the antifreeze comes almost all the way back up into the skimmer, so the line is completely filled, on the other one, I would say that the lineis only about half way filled with anti freeze, with a gizmo on the top of that line also. Will both lines be ok if I leave them this way?
2. Here is my biggest concern. After I blew out the MD, and closed off the ball valve to it. I could hear air leaking back out of it. So since the air is leaking out, the water is leaking in! Is there something I can do to get the MD line not to freeze? we live in KC and it will get down to 0 in the dead of winter here. So I am not sure if the line will be below the frost line or not.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jeffrey
