Remove antifreeze for de-winterization

[Aarthur]

Hi! We are new pool owners and this will be our first full season. We don’t wanna pay $400+ to have a pool company re-open the pool for us. We have a cartridge filter and have done some research on how to remove antifreeze from the lines. We understand that we can use a shop vac to remove it from the skimmer line but our skimmer is plugged and still under water. We don’t have any other drain. We aren’t sure from where we can pull the antifreeze at the pump. Picture attached if anyone can provide advice. TIA!

You can let the antifreeze drain into your pool and get diluted. It will just consume a bunch of chlorine until it is gone from the water.

We don't recommend using a Pool Frog XL Pro Mineral Pool care system. The minerals will accumulate in your water and can stain your pool. They do nothing to improve your sanitation.

How do you chlorinate your pool?

Thanks. The pool frog system was installed when we bought the house but we don’t intend on using the mineral paks. We were planning on using the frog system to chlorinate only.
