    Great video, I feel comfortable closing my pool myself for the first time this year. One thing I don't understand: Is there a concern with keeping the compressor on and plugging all the drains and returns? Will the pressure continue to build and potentially blow a pipe?

    With a compressor, yes. A vac blower only has 1 level of pressure it's blowing. so definitely be careful with a compressure

In my research of swimming pool maintenance and repair, I don't think our swimming is in despair as I once thought. I have so many DIY Projects ahead of me because I cannot find contractors willing to do the job(s). I am concurrently working on the swimming pool and surrounding ground [I plan to plant new sod]. I think it was 10 to 15 years ago we had record tropical storms with record rain showers and flooding - this is when the pool deck shifted and cracked in a few of the deck slabs. I also have a Swimming Pool Caulking/Mastic/Sealant Project ahead of me. In 2015, my Father and I applied crack repair sealant to the swimming pool: we did a lot of the joints on the pool deck, on the coping area just above the tiles and in the skimmer. I pondering on laying paver bricks flush with the perimeter of the pool deck; therefore I won't have to edge the pool deck as often. I am pondering on whether or not I should paint and seal the edge of the pool deck slabs? The Swimming Pool Builders and Brick Paver companies want to essentially demolish the swimming pool and rebuild for $$$$$$.

    hello, I'm looking to close my pool for the first time and am confused about where I should insert my blower attachment to blow out the return line. I have a hayward pump & sand filter. Can I feed my blower into the other end of the pump or the backwash waste port? I think the only detachable union I have is between the heater and the automatic chlorinator. I have a small semi-inground pool with 1 return and 1 skimmer. Thank you
