It's amazing what the right tool for the job will do, huh ? My way with my shop vac to clear the bulk of the lines and then finishing it with the leaf blower is currently working but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a cyclone if something changed. Especially at the $700+ they are charging for closings by me these days. It'd be free halfway through the job.
Probably will with no issues. My hose also fits in my skimmer mouth as that's where I put it when I am running the vacuum. I wonder if I should make an air bypass so I can adjust the airflow into the pipes. Can the plumbing take whatever pressure the cyclone can put out?
Less of a mess to blow the water towards the pool though. And when I do the skimmers the water level will be lowered below the skimmer openings and returns.
Thank you! In the spirit of full disclosure if I had cracked the lid I probably wouldn't have made the YouTube video.
The main drain is blown (like in my video) and then shut off while air is still blowing into it. That creates an airlock so that the remaining water is underground below the frost line.
