What is the simplest way to block return lines to avoid draining pool while installing chlorine injector check valve? Can I just turn pump off and turn the eyes on the return lines sideways to stop flow or do I need to remove eyes and cap return lines with some type of fitting? I need to cut the 1 1/2" return line near the pump to install a tee for the check valve.

Re: How to cut return line without draining pool
Is the return line at the pad lower than the water level?
If you're eyes are like mine, or similar, the eye balls unscrew and can be replaced with threaded plugs. Mine are 1.5".
Like these:
If where you want to cut the PVC is above the water line, you don't need to do anything about plugging the returns.

Thanks. I should have pulled one of the eyes before posting the question.
