2nd year closing myself. Last year went ok and opened fine. I'm not convinced I got the return or main lines blown out very well last year. I use a portable air tank to blow out.
Working on it this year, skimmer line I feel good about. Return line I'm working on though I still hear water in the line. One issue I'm running into on the main is I don't believe the shut off valves are shutting completely so I'm struggling blowing out the main and creating the air suction.
2 questions:
1) Should I/How do I add antifreeze to return and main lines?
2) How in the world would I replace the valves given my setup?? Whoever did this left zero room. Seems I'm going to have to rebuild from scratch starting at half of the union.
