How do you open the drain for a garden leisure spa?
You need to open up the front panel and there will be a hose with a garden hose attachment on it. They do not work very well and are very slow on that hot tub line. They have put a drain spot on some models on the outside of the cabinet but I now think they only do it on the inside.
Can I close my inground pool without blowing out the lines (by lowering the water level below frost line)?
The pool builder told me I didn't need to blow out the lines, just drain the water below the frost line, put an inner tube in the water to prevent freezing, and something about opening drains in the filter or pump to allow for expansion. I know we did it during our first winter (8 years ago) and had no problems - but I don't remember all the details. Can anyone tell me the exact procedure for closing an inground pool without draining pipes? IOur pool is vinyl lined; sand filter, 22,000 gallons; one skimmer and one intake at the bottom of the deep end; two returns in the shallow end. (We're in Zone 6 - occasionally goes below 10 F) Thank you.
