Cyclone Blower Help

Hi,

I just purchased a Cyclone blower and am trying to determine the best adapters and connections to use in winterizing my pool. I have Pentair pumps and separate systems for a negative edge/vault and a poolside spa. Blowing out through the pumps makes the most sense with this system. On the pumps, the intake from the main drain and skimmer seems to be about 1 1/2 inches and I purchased that size of hose. The outflow (to the filter and eventually the returns) seems to be 3 inches and then tapers down. What connections or adapters could I use? Is it possible to connect to the pump drain holes? Thanks so much for any help.
 
Rick, read the winter closing thread. There is a link in there about a rework of the pump basket cover. It’s about adding a fitting to a cover that will accept a standard hose from the cyclone. Sounds like you have the same pump, same issue. This fitted cover seems to solve the problem.
 
Does anyone have winter pool blowout instructions for the CYCLONE blowing through the pump filter. I made an adapter pump lid( extra one on EBAY) from the info on this great informative website. Closing pool for first time... just received the Cyclone. Thanks.
