16. Once all the water has been purged, the return lines can be capped (img.28) with
threaded plugs or expandable rubber plugs (img.29) depending on your pool's type
of jets. Then, reopen the air controls (img.30) on the edge of the pool, pour in 4 litres
of antifreeze and shut the air controls.
17. Before purging the suction lines, place a temporary 2" threaded plug in the
skimmer (img.31). You must place the plug in the hole that is closest to the pool
(img.32), this opening is connected to the bottom drain (img.33). This procedure
prevents gravity from causing the water to return to the skimmer, thus avoiding
draining the bottom of the skimmer.
18. Suck and blow air from the front of the pump to empty the lines of both
suctions.
18.1. A) Start with the swimming pool area. Place the suction valve to the "Pool"
Position (img.34). Blow and suck the air until the water no longer passes through the
mouth of the skimmer (img.35). With a mop, dry the remaining water from the
suction opening of the skimmer (img.36). Finish this step by pouring 4 litre of
antifreeze into the skimmer (img.37).
18.1. B) Screw the Gizzmo (type of green bottle) with the expandable teflon (img.38)
in the suction opening of the skimmer (the hole that ties furthest from the pool
(img.39)) and NOT the opening from the bottom drain (img.40 /blue).
18.2. A) Then, suck the water out of the spa area. Place the suction valve (img.41)
to the "Spa" position. Blow air until the water no longer passes through both side drains
in the spa area.
18.2. B) Unscrew the grids from both side drains in the spa area and insert two
waterproof plugs. Afterwards, fill the spa no more than two inches below the
jets. (img.42)
