Newbie pool owner in Illinois

Hi friends, I am a new pool owner and I am installing an 18’ 4’ deep round pool above ground that can also be installed in ground. Do I need main drain in the bottom of the pool? Thanks!

Hi and welcome! You do not need a main drain in any pool. There is even a move to not put them in in ground pools. They can be more trouble than they are worth-stubbed toes, another hole to worry with, etc.
