Darcy it all depends on the plumbing in your equipment and distance run to the pool and what you are trying to evacuate water out of ie skimmers, return jets, waterfalls, water supply lines to slides etc. Typically a compressor does not have enough psi to push the volume of water adequetly out of plumbing lines and you require a commercial type of blower to be effective at evacuating all the water. Furthermore you require a blower device to also chase the line afterwards with an antigel agent. Testing your water at our lab before you winterize your pool and adding a hibernate winterizing kit is your best bet at opening blue/clear next spring. If all else fails contact our Service Support Desk to book a Pool Winterize.
