Hello, I live in NJ and pool is currently 66 degrees. I would like to close myself before we go away for a few days this week. Is it too early? Second, I don't have a multiport so I'm not sure how to direct blowing out the lines. I have a compressor and i think I just attach it to the pump drain but not sure how to blow out returns, skimmer, water fall. Pool has two returns in shallow end, a polaris line, and a skimmer in deep end. Thanks for the help as always.

I don't like compressors for blowing. Once any air escapes the system the PSI is spent and the CFM was way too little the whole time. The cyclone truly is the way to go and it costs *half* as much as 1 closing up here.

Closing with shop vac.
Today was the day for closing and it went great with a 6HP shop vac. I hooked my blower up for fun after, and there really wasn't much left but some spray. Anywho I wanted to do a write up for all the folks wondering if they could save a chunk of change and tackle their own closing...

Good thing is you have several access points in the plumbing to connect a blower. I'm going to assume you have an inground pool, so I'll add an article below that may help. Also be sure to update your signature with all of your pool and equipment info. Let us know if you have any questions.
