Title says it all !
Today is pool closing day ! I am hoping someone can help me out here.
I drained the pool to about 2 inches below return (don't want to drain too low due to mesh cover)
So as far as blowing the lines out. I have a vinyl liner pool, 2 returns, a skimmer and NO main drain.
I am assuming I unscrew the union for the return line coming out of the chlorinator (B in my picture) , plug ONE of the return lines
and turn the shop vac on and let it blow for a few minutes until there is no more water coming out.
and then I would repeat the step for the other return ? How do I know if it is completely sealed on the return end ? (the water is below the skimmer). I have the screw on caps and I also have the expanding plugs, I would prefer to use the caps.
After that , I would think I would unscrew the union for the suction line (A in my picture) insert my shop vac end into the line and blow all of the water out of the skimmer.
We are in a deep freeze zone here in PA so I just want to make sure I don't have any issues.
Also does it matter what I set my filter to as I am blowing out the lines ?
Thank you in advance for any replies.
