Where u at? Thanks. Great content!

If the main drain is not connected directly to the drain and comes out from the skimmer like in this video you don't need to blow it? I have the Protek Shield on the Raypak heater. Do I need to remove it for winter? Also nice bracelet !
If the main drain goes to the skimmer, I just put a piece of pool noodle (about a foot long) down the pipe and plug it off. I use to blow it out but found that a foot long foam piece will help it from breaking at that point. Never had an issue and have been doing it this way for years. Never had a pipe break at a main drain under the skimmer. I do take the protek off, as thats my drain plug. Did I miss that in my video? lol
@@VIPPoolsandSpas Awesome, thank you for the direction. I have the new Raypak version that has the Protek Shield and would always remove the plug from the other side instead of the Protek and leave it throughout winter. Love using the Duck plugs, but I haven't found any that would fit my step jet. How would you blowout the step jet if the waterline is above it? Do I just block it off normally or do you recommend another way.
@@ralphyounes1677 Thats a great question. Is the step jet connected to the other 2 jets making it 3 jets inline? If so, use an expansion plug, blow it and plug it underwater. You'll get wet.
@@VIPPoolsandSpasI believe the step jet is connected to the the other two since the circulation and shut off is for all three, but am not 100% certain. I have done it the way you have recommended with the expansion plug and wanted to make sure that I am doing it the right way. Thanks again for the direction!
@@ralphyounes1677 you'll be fine. Can't get every drop of water out.
Hi this is fantastic. You speak very well. I’m old school,am 60 now,and have had a pool for 35 years. I’ve always lowered my pool level and vacuumed out the lines but my jets are so low and I have to drain off so much water. I have a shop vac. Is it strong enough to blow out the lines?You were using a blower I’m not familiar with. I saw your Canadian flag so I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the subscription. The blower link is in the video description. Its a great investment and is the only thing that can really get out all the water. The duck plugs I use and don't have to lower the water below the returns can't always be used on any pool. You have to buy the plugs and see if they fit.
Just confirming. Jets are air locked too just like a main drain?
No. Theres no pressure in the jets to push back on.
“Complete Guide” ??? I’m almost 100% positive there are chemicals that are added to the pool water that weren’t covered in this video….or have I been closing my pool wrong all these years ?
Almost 100%. Balance your water out is the #1 thing. Putting other chemicals in all depends on what type of winter cover and what climate you live in. You watch videos to get an idea on how you should close your pool. Also. there are 4 different ways to close a skimmer and 4 different ways to close a return. Guess it wasn't 100% complete guide. But hey, it's already confusing for some.
