Will be closing the pool next week. Water is balanced. Not a very complicated setup. I have a mesh cover. 2 return lines and 2 skimmers on the opposite side of the returns. I plan on lowering the water 12 to 18 inches below the skimmers. Removing the pump. Using an air compressor to blowout the return lines when I remove the SWG. I will then cap them. Then blowing out the skimmer lines from where I removed the pump. What kind of connector do I need for my pump to be able to blow those lines out?

You will need the male end for you compressor hose and then either a spare pump lid to donate to the process, or DIY your own adapter reducer/fittings in the plumbing aisle at HD.
This one was recent and genius. It was for a shop vac but you could do it for the compressor just the same.

Cyclone Connection to SWG Unions
I'm closing for the first time and I'm planning on removing my SWG and connecting a cyclone to the unions. Avoiding working from the skimmer since I won't be lowering the water. Avoiding a modified basket lid due to cost of getting an additional one and not sure there is any advantage to it...
