Below those waters, you should also be able to locate a drain at the bottom of your pool. It might seem like a simple device and easy to overlook, but that feature actually contributes to a vital part of your pool’s overall health—and you’re about to learn all about it.

We’ll explain what exactly your pool’s main drain is, how it connects to your circulation system, how it works, and how to assess whether or not yours is safe for swimmers. We’ll also go over how to fix a clogged main drain and how to plug it up for the winter. Get ready to know the answer to all your main drain problems. We’re going in.
