I've been paying people for years to close my pool... I thought I had all the steps down pat -- BUT I guess I am missing something.
I removed all the plugs. Wasted the water. Although it seems I could have wasted it more...
My setup:
I drew a picture of my pool. I did not plug any of the Interior Pool Inlets / Outlets -- but I have plugs ready. I attached a photo of where Skimmer 2 is in terms of water level -- which seems high to me. I have not turned the Jandy Valve at all -- don't know if I should.
Attempt 1:
I tried to put my Shop Vac into the Skimmer 1 and blow through. I expected to see a geyser out of Skimmer 2 -- but nothing. I can barely get my Shop Vac hose in there -- so it is definitely not pushing a lot of air through -- which brings me to Theory 1:
Theory 1: I need some kind of Shop Vac attachment to make the connection into Skimmer 1 -- then I will see geyser and know water is mostly cleared out.
Attempt 2:
I tried to put my Shop Vac into the Skimmer 2 and blow through. I expected to see anything out of Skimmer 1 -- but nothing. Which brings me to Theory 2:
Theory 2: Something is stuck in that passage way.
I really want my pool closed today -- so I am a little frustrated and don't want to pay $250 for someone to come over and finish in 15 minutes.
Thanks everyone in advance!
