So, 1st time closing. Started today. Draining - Ok. Winterizing Filter, no prob. Draining pump, fine. Blowing out lines...not sure what I'm doing wrong, or maybe I'm not doing anything wrong and just confused.
Using an air compressor and Schrader valve plugs to blow out lines. Using between 10-25 PSI
Return lines - Haven't started there yet.
Main drain - Plenty of bubbles from the main, but kept bubbling for a long time. Several minutes. How do I know I've "gotten it"? After doing this, I removed the Schrader plug just to see, and of course it pops off and water comes splashing back up. Can see some water below at elbow. Did this exercise two times through.
Skimmer - I look down in skimmer drain in skimmer and don't see any water. When running air through, I can hear some still in the lines, but don't see any. I'm afraid to add any more pressure. When I look down pipe at the pad, I can see a little water at elbow.
Help....
