Cartridge Filter and Pool Anti Freeze

[richmgreen]

I have a new cartridge filter. I always add anti-freeze when closing pool. My question is, when I turn it on in the spring, will the anti-freeze that will be in the one suction line (skimmer) damage the cartridges in the filter ?

Can you run the filter without the cartridges while clearing the anti freeze from the suction line ?

Thanks
Rich

I assume you are using RV anti-freeze.

No, it will not damage your filter.

Yes you can.

Yes, I do use the RV stuff.

I blew my lines out this spring to remove most of it. It won't hurt anything but why add it if it's easy to get rid of, right ?

I plan on building a return fitting attachment that shoots to the grass and I'll let the pump clear the lines next spring.
