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 only 5 feet (sport bottom).
This will be my 1st time closing down my pool, so, after treating the pool (shock/algae etc), I will 1st bring the water level below the skimmer and I'll be clearing the lines from the skimmer end. So, I've read multiple threads that once you clear/plug both of my returns (air/bubbles coming out after 45-60 secs) from the skimmer there's not much else to do except for removing the cartridge, all drain plugs from filter cartridge/pump etc...do I need to do anything else from the equipment pad (where filter/motor) is located since I don't have a main drain?
I'm assuming if i'm clearing the lines from the skimmer, everything needs to be close from the equipment pad correct? Basically, leave the drain plugs until I'm done clearing from skimmer? Sorry for noob questions.
