continued: Pool: vinyle 20 by 40 with one skimmer. two returns and one DE filter for skimmer and drain entering.
steps:
1- drain water 18 inches and empty filter DE and close. Place might vac in teh skimmer and start blowing the lines through my pump and filter to teh returns.
2. Watch for all water to exit from two return lines and plug each of them.
3. Watch for bubbles to come out of the draine for a while and then close the drain pipe (got these push down gates to close skimmer and drain).
4. shut down pump and put that skimmer protection thing into the skimmer hole. Should I dump some anti freeze into the pipes?
5. dump anitfreeze into teh skimmer.
6. Remote DE filter form teh lines
7. One the return pipe that goes to the two returns, shoudl I dump antifreeze into those?
Am i missing anything. Alternative is to just call the pool guy to blow out my lines. He usually does it after I remove the pump but it seems like I can just pump right through my skimmer and close everything off?
