Unless you had the pool installed with a bottom drain there is not a drain on an above ground pool. You'll have to pump the water out using a sump pump or siphon it out using a garden hose. Please note having a bottom drain in any pool does not indicate that it is an actual drain as in house Plumbing. The word "drain" or "main drain" is used most likely for lack of a better term. The only way to drain any pool is to use a portable pump and pump the water out.

When digging pools to depths in excess of 36" deep; in many area's of the world; you will hit natural occurring ground water. The general answer is you use pumps to keep water levels down while working on pool shell; and you allow for ground water to flow through the bottom pool drain after shell is installed until you are able to fill the pool with water. If you don't allow for water to enter through the drain, your pool will float out of the ground like a boat, as the ground water tries to displace the ground that was removed.

There is a product called an AQUADOR' that covers the skimmer opening much like a Tupperware lid that keeps the water in the pool. It is inexpensive, easy and earth friendly.
