The cost of having a pool service open and close our pool is very expensive so I have decided to do it on my own. I watched the guys who opened and closed the pool a few times but still uncertain about one thing. The pool has a Paramount 6 port gear valve module and the pool service removed the top with the gears in it. Do I just place the head back on or is there something else I should do?
 
Welcome to TFP.

@proavia is our IFCS expert.

Were any pipes plugged? Remove any plugs before replacing the head.

Most of the time when a pool with an IFCS is winterized, the lines to the infloor popup lines are also blown out.
Plugs similar to the pic Allen @ajw22 posted are placed in the water distribution valve when the IFCS lines areblown out..

Post a pic of the inside of your water distribution valve.
