Hi All,
This will be my first time closing. I've read several blogs on the how to winterize and they all pretty much say the same thing, except I've found a difference when it comes to water level. Pool school says to drain water to below return jets and add anti-freeze. I've seen another site that says as long as lines are properly blown out and the right gizmos etc are used, draining is not necessary, nor is antifreeze. My pool is vinyl with no tile at top.
The previous owners had water drained below skimmer, but not below return lines. Gizmos etc were used, as well as antifreeze. It seems to me that antifreeze can't hurt and would actually be a good safeguard. This may be obvious, but where do I pour the anti-freeze in... the pump?
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
