To clear the pump and it's lines...
Option: (I recommend but it's not really necessary)
Take a towel (Dish size will work) and placing it under the pump inlet strainer open the inlet strainer compartment (Some water will be lost, intake line will drain back into fresh tank which has open drain to ground,, Towel catches water)
After the first Blow of the lines,, Turn on pump for 30 seconds to a minute, Pump is designed to run dry without damage.. Turn off pump, re-assemble intake strainer housing, Wring out towel (outside so it drips on ground) and hang up to dry.
Other option is just run the pump... But this will leave water in the intake strainer housing.
