What is the best way to release pressure on PP

[Bernerbass99]

I have to do some maintenance on one of my poles and need to release the pressure what is the best way ?

Lower them most of the way then manually push them (or just one) back up. It takes some force but doesn’t require more than on person.

Exactly how its done

yup, be sure to put your disconnected lines in a container before pushing back up to avoid a fluid filled bilge.

Also don’t grasp the spike with bare hands, you will get splinters. Wear gloves or push higher up.

I would have another person at the pump holding the lines with a towel at the connections just to be safe. Dont ask me how I know

If the lines blow off you have one of 2 things going on.

The hoses were not properly installed into the pump ie all the way into the back of the fitting and nut tight enough

or

there is an issue with the relief valve.

Usually its the first

Well, I might be the odd man out here but if I don't have to move the spikes, I just take a small rope or a few wire ties and tie them in the up position. After that put a rag under the lines at the pump and ease them loose. Shouldn't be much more tha a teaspoon of fluid leak out. Different story if you have work to do that requires the spikes down but you can sure get a pump out this way. Works for me.
