Question 1

New 8 foot pool. The blower is not making my main drain bubble but I shut the multivalve anyway then when i open the valve air comes out

Accepted Answer

The sequence would be:  1.  Insert Gizmo tube into the skimmer.  2. Turn multi valve so only skimmer is open (bottom drain close). 3. Use Cyclone to blow all the water out of the skimmer line until only air is coming out.  4.  Pour pool antifreeze into the skimmer line.  5.  Switch multi valve so that only bottom drain in open (skinner close).  6. Use Cyclone to blow all water out of bottom drain (it should be rolling bubbles like crazy).  7.  While blowing bottom drain line have someone close off bottom drain on the multi valve. Bottom drain should then be air locked and the skimmer line should be protected by the Gizmo.

Question 2

Trying to determine what the cfm and psi numbers would be so i do not damage my sprinkler system. any one know?

Accepted Answer

This blower maxes out at around 5.5 - 6psi.   Your irrigation system routinely deals with much, much higher static water pressure.

CFM is a function of air movement vs resistance, and in this case is essentially useless - once the water is cleared from the lines to allow CFM to be measured, the job is already complete.  Suffice to say that, when blowing air into a 3/4" or 1" line, it will produce plenty of pressure and air movement to blow outa typical residential irrigation system.

Question 3

What accessories do I need to connect the blower to a drain port on my Pentair pump?  That's how my pool company did it until they disappeared.

Accepted Answer

Standard 1-1/2" PVC pipe fittings available at your local hardware store or Home Depot -if your pump is 2" they carry 1-1/2 to 2 reducer or bushings. this is awesome vacuum/ blower
