How do you unclog pool drains of leaves when drain cover has been off?
Go to ace hardware or homedepot and get a drain king. It is a water bladder that you put on your hose. remove the PUMP lid from your pump and place the drain king into the top hole turn on the hose and let the pressure clear the line
How do you stop the water so you can replace that part of the PVC pipe that goes to the bottom drain of an inground pool?
it all depends on where the pipe is. Sometimes you can just plug the hole in the pool with a rubber stopper. without knowing wher your pipe is or what kind of pool you have, how much water, how many drains. etc.. this question may be too vague to answer If the line to the bottom drain is dedicated (a line directly to the bottom drain only), and it is the suction line as you describe, you will have to partially drain the pool, If only one suction pipe goes into the pump, the bottom drain runs through the skimmer. Plug the skimmer in the hole FARTHEST FROM THE POOL with a threaded 2" or 1 1/2" cap (whatever size your plumbing is). You'll also need to pull all of the eyeballs/returns and plug them in the same fashion (pressure side). There are rubber plugs made for all of this, too. If you have a pool cleaner you may have to plug it or close the cap also. A side note, because there's no details about your pool: if you have a 2nd line to the pool and a plug-in cleaner with a hose (like a Navigator or a Barracuda) your dedicated line is for the cleaner. Plug that also and you won't have to drain it. But if you have water features, a spa, play pool, if they run into one pump, boosters, etc. then my advice may not apply.

How can you remove worms born in your pool?
You could drain your pool and have it cleaned. Or just have a pool cleaner clean it for you. And next time use chlorine to prevent larvae from hatching in your pool.

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 do you get better circulation in an in-ground pool that has no main drain?
You may try a suction side pool cleaner. Connects into the skimmer. No booster pump needed. Pool Vac, Kreepy Krauly are but a few.
I have some small pebbles that look to be clogging my drain line pump still working but I am concerned about suction Can you unscrew the 8 screws and take off great and try to unclog the pebbles?
If this a vinyl liner pool... the grate (anti vortex dome) is attached by two screws. the main drain frame is held on with 8 screws and should not be removed. With either vinyl or concrete application.... 1. blow air down the bottom drain line to dislodge the pebbles using a compressor or a blower ( used for winterizing lines and is available from many pool stores) 2. remove them by hand from the bottom drain Jim
