After searching around on some of the threads I'm still not sure I'm about to do this right -so please forgive my novice question: I need to drop my pool water level below the 2 skimmers. (Plan to set the MPV to waste and use pump.) There's a drain hole under each skimmer inside the pool. I think these are equalizers, but there's nothing in my docs to confirm, and in fact the generic MDX manual's various diagrams do not show these. (could they be anything else, though?). I don't plan to drop the water level below these anyway. So when I go to do this, should I bother covering the suction hole inside the skimmers and / or turn off the skimmer valves at the equipment? OR, if I want to just drain from the bottom drain, is it best to close both the valve and the suction plate?
Thanks in advance for any input/ advice you might have for this novice!!
