How do you blow out pool lines
Blowing out your pool lines is an important part of winterizing your pool. It helps to prevent the lines from freezing and bursting, which can cause extensive damage to your pool.
To blow out your pool lines, you will need an air compressor and a blow-out plug. A blow-out plug is a small inflatable device that fits into the end of the pool line.

- Insert the blow-out plug into the end of the pool line.
- Turn on the air compressor and allow it to run until all of the water has been blown out of the line.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each of your pool lines.
- Once all of the lines have been blown out, disconnect the air compressor and remove the blow-out plugs.
- Close all of the valves on your pool lines.
- Reconnect the pool pump and filter.
- Turn on the water supply to your pool.
