Hi,
I just bought a new house with an inground gunite pool and I’m trying to close it. This is the first pool I’ve had that has a main drain, so I’m running into some issues. I blew out the 2 skimmers and the 4 returns, along with a separate return line that the zodiac vacuum used, but I can’t get the main drains to blow out. In addition, even though I completely separated the return and suction lines, I get water coming out of the return near the valve when I’m trying to blowout the main drains on the suction side. Shouldn’t these be totally separate? I’ve attached some pics. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
