I’m not sure if my main drain is on. I swam down there tonight And squirted some colored water and it doesn’t seem to uptake. I’m going to try to attach a picture of my equipment. How do I tell and make sure my main drain is functioning. My main concern is I have in floor cleaners and I want to suck up all the dirt and junk. I can’t figure out how to attach a file picture. I’ll try to add later.

You probably have a valve at the equipment pad that is designed to adjust suction flow from the main drain and/or skimmer. It might have its own valve or share one with the skimmer. So you might confirm any valves are fully open.

Trying to see dye go into a main drain is like feeling behind a fan for air movement.
It's better to just have the drain valve open only and see it it pumps
