I got my pool closed last weekend. Thanks for everyones help.

I used my air compressor, because the leaf blower would not do anything for my lines (??)
I had the compressor set to 40lbs and used a stand pipe that screws into the bottom of the skimmer "box". On my pool, after you remove the skimmer basket I have threads that 1.5" pipe screws into, in the bottom of the skimmer area, I belive this is a standard setup (???), that pipe stays in the skimmer when the pool is closed so make sure you use a LOT of teflon tape when screwing it in so it will not leak. The stand pipe is long enough to stay above the pool water line but lower than the concrete deck. I dont lower my pool level at all for closing. At the top of the stand pipe is another female pipe fitting so that you can screw in a plug. I took a pvc plug, drilled a hole in it and screwed in a 1/4 air fitting into it, when I am done blowing the lines I take out that plug (got that tip on this board - thanks) and put it a standard pool closing plug (same size as the first plug for 1.5" pipe).
To be double-safe I built 3 other stand pipes with 90s on the end and put them on my return jets, they too are above the water line.
So I put the pump on recirculate and hooked up the air compressor. I blew out the main drain/return air locked them with the valves by the pump. I then blew out each return, with the plugs on 2 of the 3 so full pressure with be going to one return at a time. After a few rounds of this I was done and could not hear any more water gurgling in the return pipes.
I then took the rv-antifreeze and poured some in each return, since my stand pipes were above the water level this was easy. I also poured some in the skimmer line for grins. Then used the empty jug as a gizmo.
Pulled the plugs in my pump, clorinator and filter, threw out my puck clorinator and put on the cover.
I was done! -

I appreciate everyone on this board.
thanks Kevin
