∙ 15y agoA "center" drain or main drain is "good" in that it is usually located at the deep end of the pool and will circulate the water in the lower half of the pool better than if you only had just the skimmers at the surface. You will get less complete circulation if you used only the skimmer - You would essentially be circulating only the first two feet of the depth.

Why does the ground have to be level for above ground pools?
So that the water doesn't drain out of the pool and so the pool doesn't fall over. I agree with the answer above but I have a more detailed answer. In a round above ground pool the water puts even pressure on the pool walls, and if the ground is not level one side will get more pressure. The imbalance will cause the pool to collapse under the strain.

Is it wrong to drain your plaster pool when the temperature is above 100?
Why would you drain your pool just becasue the water is hot? Never drain your inground pool unless you have first cut holes in the bottom of the pool to keep it from floating. If the water table in your area is high enough, your inground pool could "float" out of the ground, effectively ruining your pool.
