Hello all,
My pool was working ok last summer, but I have a lot to do with it before swimming season. Can someone please tell me what the following holes are for? [gosh, it sounds hilarious asking that question]
The first port looks like it is a vacuum line of some sort, but I never could get it to suck (or blow), no matter how I positioned my pump valves. Is it indeed a vacuum line? It is around the height that a return jet is.

The next hole is located on the pool deck right adjacent to the deep end. It has a twist off cap. When I twisted the cap off and looked inside, all I see is a pipe headed straight down.

I am VERY curious as to what this pipe leads to. I am getting ready to drain my pool, and a sewer is not nearby. I also do not want to drain into my yard, because the water is full of fungus and disgusting. I've read that I can drain it to the "main drain" of my house, but I don't know where it is.
ANY advice on what these holes could be would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!

Here is another pic of the last hole, to give you all more perspective on where it's located. The hole is outlined by a red square:
