    Can anything be done when my main drain collapses? Or do I just consider it dead and go to skimmers only?

    Sometimes I circulate on "Both". Seems like it helps clean the bottom of the pool. Also I use the main drain when I empty the pool for cleaning etc.

    LOL. That's the only thing I can see to do. Fingers crossed I won't have to deal with that problem.
