What is the Purpose of a main drain in a swimming pool?
If its not connected through the skimmer I imagine it's there to empty it. hmmm, on the above. The main drain in pools is for circulating the lower part of the pool and is not intended to drain the pool as in a bath tub.
How do you use the bottom drain in an in ground pool?
Well, if you mean to drain the pool --- it is not a drain as in house plumbing -- the sink -- the tub. It is connected to the skimmer and that is connected to the pump. Your main drain is most likely 'working'. It does not nave to be a strong flow. Well, if you mean to drain the pool --- it is not a drain as in house plumbing -- the sink -- the tub.

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.

How do you add extra venting to existing plumbing?
Cut into the existing drain where you feel it would help the most and run a vet to the outside, preferably to above the roof line. At the point furthest from the main drain.
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 winterize an in-ground saltwater swimming pool?
With the onset of the cold weather, you will need to winterize your gunite pool. Backwash the pool filter. Detach the pump and filter to drain any left over water. Drain the pool heater. Remove return jet fittings, the skimmer basket and pipes. Blow air through the system until bubbles appear in the water and cap off the fittings. Put an empty twenty ounce plastic bottle in the skimmer basket to compensate for freezing and thawing. Remove water from the main drain line and cap it. Remove ladders and floats. Lower the level of the water beneath the tile line.
Why is your pool draining from the main drain?
If you mean you are losing water, it may be a broken or cracked main drain or possibly your hyrdo-static valve is malfunctioning. One other possibility is a break in the pipe going to the main drain.
Why is an open ground so dangerous?
Current flows from the voltage source to ground. If an appliance is not grounded somehow the hot were to touch the metal case and you touched the case while standing on the ground then the current would try to travel to ground through your body. I once was called to debug a situation in a residence in Florida where the owner got a shock everytime he took a shower. Turns out the main electric panel had never been grounded to earth and thus the whole house was floating above earth ground. Essentially all the metal pmumbing was at about 60 volts above ground. When taking a shower the water stream conducted the current through the owner's body to the metal drain which was earth grounded.
How do you run the pool filter through the main drain?
You run the pool filter through the main drain by moving your valve next to your pool pump to main drain only. This is usually a Jandy Value or the like. Usually there are three positions on this value. One for both main drain and skimmers. One for skimmers only and one for main drain only. As a precautionary warning. Only adjust this value with the Pump OFF. Doing it while the pump is running may cause significant damage to the value. No one needs additional pool repairs if it can be avoided. Hope this helps. : ) The above answer is only good if there is a dedicated main drain line to the pump. Most pools in California have the main drain line connected to the front port of the skimmer and use a diverter valve in the bottom to regulate the ratio of bottom or skimmer suction. Jandy and Ortega valves are both designed to be adjusted with the pump running with no fear of damage. Multiport valves should only be adjusted with the pump off.
