How awful would not blowing the lines be??

[PureLuck]

I'm in Massachusetts. We drained the pool below skimmer and never have an issue blowing the lines. However- I replaced a bunch of pipe this spring and FORGOT THAT I NEED TO BE ABLE TO OPEN the puppies to blow the lines!!! They are all glued together!! It's so cold out now that I just can't be out there replacing pipes again at the filter. (Plus my husband is going to kill me when he finds out)
So, can I just leave them this year??

Blow the lines through the pump. You will have to sacrifice your pump basket lid and get a new one for next year.

Water goes to the pump via the skimmer, why not replace water with blowing air ?
