After reading this forum, I ordered a 8 gallon Liquidator for $158. The 3/8" upgrade kit is included. Is it still recommended to swap out the stock needle valve with the Hayward needle valve? What about the check valves? I really do not want to remove them.
My pool equipment is above the pool level. Will the supplied connectors connect to my pump and heater drain ports or do I have to take the drain plugs to Home Depot and match them up to barb plugs? I will put the hoses and connectors together after I close the pool so it will be ready for next season. I am not drilling into my PVC pipes and do not want to remove or use the off-line chlorinator connectors.
I switched to liquid chlorine/bleach after reading this forum over the past month since my CYA was high all season before all of the hurricane & tropical storm rain lowered my CYA. Now I do not want the CYA to rise out of control again.
Polyquat algaecide and shock are ready for closing the pool on Oct 1st.
Thanks for the advice!
