If you have a top skimmer basket the water level should be at least an inch above the basket, so you are not sucking any air. They seem to operate more effectivly at removing floating material BEFORE IT SINKS if the level is about half the distance from the top to the bottom of the skimmer opening.
Howmuch water left above ground pool for the winter?
Water level should be 2-3 inches above skimmer lip or edge. Usually about 3" 75mm or at least 1/2 way up the mouth of the skimmer. however this depends on the strength of suction from the pump. so long as there is no air being sucked into the system is the first rule to keep in mind. the second is the faster the water is moving as it goes into the skimmer the better. If you have a floating suction-side skimmer about 3/16 to 1/2" or 10 to 15 mm or more depending on pump strength.

What is the scum gutter of an above ground pool 18' by 18'?
I may be wrong but I doubt there is a scum gutter on above ground pools. There may be what is called a skimmer and that is sort of a hollow box like object at one side of the pool - usually located closer to the pool equipment side of the pool. When the pool pump is running you will be able to see water entering the box or skimmer. The purpose of the skimmer is to catch bugs, leaves, etc and to get the water back to the pump. It is part of the circulation system.

How can you vacuum the bottom of an above ground pool out with out losing the water?
If you have the regular set up that includes a skimmer, pump and filter then you don't have to waste any water.

Place the lid inside the skimmer over the skimmer basket, then vacuum to your hearts content. Pool Masters
Is there any kind of repair kit for a rusted pool wall around your through wall skimmer?
