I am about to start the winterizing procedure for my pool as soon as the water temp gets low enough and I have a couple of questions. First, when it says remove multi-port/spider gasket, what is the spider gasket? I know what the mult-port valve is and according to the pool company I can leave that on, so please clarify. Also what is the use of putting a plastic bag over the sand filter? Thanks in advance!
Closing for the winter???

The spider gasket is inside the multiport. If you have a winterize setting on the valve you don't have to remove the gasket.
If you remove the multiport you want to cover the opening of the filter with something to keep rain etc. out.
If it doesn't freeze hard where you are, it may be OK to leave to on, but in a lot of places it freezes hard enough to possibly damage the valve.

Ok thanks.
I do have a winterize setting. So I will just move it to the winterize setting and remove the pump and hoses.

Pull the drain plugs on the filter and pump so no water stays in them over the winter. You can put the plugs and hose clamps in the pump basket so they don't get lost.

Not my idea, something I learned here, and used while storing my used pool before setting it up.
