How do you turn on and use the floor drain to filter and isolate the skimmer filters?

Answ:: Most newer pools have a "valve assy." of sorts at the bottom of the skimmer. It is either made of plastic or brass. This rotates in one direction to either increase or decrease the suction at the skimmer. It really does not totally shut off the main drain.
Other type skimmers have a system that uses a "float valve" at the bottom of the skimmer. Removing this unit from the skimmer will reveal two holes at the bottom of the skimmer. Looking down into the skimmer from the deck side of the pool ~ the hole closest to you would be the direct link to the pump. This is the port in which you would connect the vac hose. The other one is connected to the main drain and all go back to the pump from the bottom of the skimmer. The "float's" purpose is to prevent the skimmer from sucking air in the event the water level got too low. It has a floating stopper inside.
If your set up has only one port at the bottom of the skimmer then you most likely have a brass or PVC valve situated just before the pump inlet. Sometimes there are multiple valves and are usually not marked as to what they control. You just have to work with a partner to find out which one does what and where.

Does the main drain line in skimmer have water in it when closing the pool?
No. You cannot use the main drain to lower the water level below the skimmer. This is because the main drain is not really a drain. It only connects right back to the 3 port valve in the skimmer.
What will happen if pour pellet stabilizer in the skimmer box and turn the skimmer box suction on does it get flushed down the drain?
No, not so long as the filter is not set to back wash
How can you figure out which valve on your filter system is the main drain?
If you look at the pipe that is going into the filter pump you will notice that it has a tee that is peceeded by two or three pipes comming up from the ground. Those will be from the skimmer, main drain, and if you have one from the cleaner. If you observe the flow of water in the skimmer then change the valve so there is no more water flowing that will be the one going to the main drain or cleaner. Repeat the process to eliminate which one is the cleaner. Which ever one is left is the main drain.
Do you use the main drain and the skimmer when filtering your pool?
You only use the skimmer/s
How much oil do you put in your Ford F-250 Superduty 2005 truck?
For the 6.0L 15qts for an oil change. loosen or change oil filter first the drain oil, filter housing holds about 1qt and must have the filter removed so it can drain to the oil pan. recommend Ford filters only have seen drive-ability problems with after market filters.
Will the filter be affected by water above the skimmer?
It won't work as a skimmer if your water level is above the skimmer. If you watch how the skimmer works, the water is pulled in over the skimmer door and it won't "skim" the floating debris off the surface of the water if the water level covers the entire opening, your skimmer will just suck in water that is below the surface. If you keep the water level so it's at least below the opening an inch or so, you should be o.k. If you've recently had alot of rain, you may need to drain some water out of the pool so your skimmers function properly.
Where should the setting be on a drain valve for an inground pool?
Hmmm, do you possibly mean the back wash valve on the filter? This valve has many positions to choose from especially for sand filters. Filter, back wash, drain, drain to waste, filter bypass, closed. They are pretty much self explanatory. Normal position would be the "filter" position while the pump is running and the filter is working. Ken

How do you unclog the bottom drain of a in ground pool if you can't find the junction of the skimmer and the main drain?
Depends how the pool was plummed. If you have a dedicated main drain line, or you share a main drain line and a skimmer line. Both are suction lines to the pump,meaning they will go into the front of the pump. If you have several valves on the front of the pump, and hopefully they are labeled you could try to shut all of them except the main drain and use what is called a drain king. It hooks to a waterhose and swells inside the pipe forcing water in the opposite direction. If you dont have any valves on the front of the pump ,chances are you share suction with the skimmer. check the inside bottom of the skimmer. Main drain may be plummed to skimmer bottom.
How does oil filter contains a check valve works?
The bypass valve in an oil filter allows the oil to bypass the filter if the filter becomes clogged. Some filters also have an anti-drain back valve when the filter is mounted in such a way as the oil could drain out of the filter. This valve prevents the oil from running back into the engine out of the filter which would cause the engine to be started with an empty filter every time.
How do you get water your of your in-ground pool after it rains?
The best way would be to unplug the swimming pool filter, open the drain valve on your pool filter turn the pump back on and drop the water level to the desired level about 2 inches above the skimmer.
