    Good thinking. Glad you got the lid off and the pot cleaned out. Next time you're at the pool store see if they carry expandable plugs. You might find one to fit your pipe sizes.

    I just close the filter and then place something (a little plastic cup or bowl, whatever is handy) in the skimmer over the hose hole to keep water from gushing out. But they do have those plugs you can buy.
