    Thanks for the reply....now that makes perfect sense! I dont have that option as I have an I/G and my pipes are, well, in the ground....

    I have been blowing out the lines and capping the pipes and using gizmos, but just wanted to make sure.

    Thanks Again!

    Glad to help!

    We get SO much nonsense from pool stores and pool "professionals" it's hard to know when they are dead-on correct and when they are full of it.

    The pros who are members here are the Good Guys, or learn to become Good Guys, or they leave --either voluntarily or involutarily.

    The ones that last are full of both knowledge and interesting insights from the industry side.

    There are SO many ways to waste money on your pool, so we work hard to help people figure out what is valid, and what isn't. Plus, what is valid for one person isn't for another. It depends on your pool, your budget, your level of experience and expertise, and your personal preferences for convenience and expenditure.
