There is a valve located with the pool equipment (filter/pump/various valves) which is used to open and close the main drain. I'm no expert, but that's the way mine works.

Also helps clean up any chemical (chlorine, alkaline, shock, etc)that may not have completely dissolved when added to the pool.
