I have 2 skimmers and a main drain. I was planning to do my own closing in the fall using the main drain to bring the water level down below the skimmers. However I just now tried running only the main drain and I get lots of bubbles/turbulence in the pump basket. Otherwise, with the skimmers and the main drain open there is no air and I hold prime.
After watching the cavitation video it looks like that to me. Am I missing anything? Is there a way around this by somehow pulling from skimmer(s)?
