First time AG pool owner closing in Central NJ this week.
A few questions:
* my filter manual (Hayward Dream Line) indicates that I should remove the drain plug and set the multiport to 'winter'. Is this sufficient? I've seen mixed advice on removing the entire multiport, blowing out the filter with a shop-vac, etc ... I plan to at least remove the pressure gauge.
* I have one skimmer box and a single return. I plan to remove the return and eyeball (e.g. both sides) and the hose from the bottom of the skimmer basket. Do I need to remove the skimmer / return housing from the pool wall?
Thanks for all your help, it has been an effortless season thanks to this forum.
