Your skimmer's will not remove any floating debris.... might as well backwash until the water is at the correct level. It should only take a few minutes.
Too much water?
It's rained here enough over the past week or so, that our water level has risen to just over the skimmers. We have a vinyl liner pool with a SWG.
Do I need to drain it? Will this high level cause damage to my pool?

Re: Too much water?
I have a cartridge filter, so I don't think that I can back wash. I'd have to pump out the water, and the only pump that I have is a pump cover pump which I believe is submersible, but very, very slow (1/4 hp).
Will it cause harm to let the water level remain high until the water evaporates? I can manually skim the water for a little while.

When my pool gets overfull due to rain I let the kids have some fun doing cannonballs.

Re: Too much water?
If you can get a hose into the pool and the open end lower than the level you want you can siphon it off, no pump needed. If it's above ground it's even easier.
