Hi Ted - So nice to know my absence was noticed! ;o)

After I posted yesterday I went back to the pool and re-checked the filter end of the lines and . . . I didn't see antifreeze. Hmmph. So, if I get more and fill it intill it spills out at top, can I still avoid blowing out the lines? I was thrilled to see that in spite of the cold of late in lower NY that there was zero ice in the pool.
