Main drain... Do I really want one with my new Inyo liner installation?

The pool is eight feet at its deepest.

If you have been happy with your pool for 16+ years, I would be quite reluctant to change it. "if it ain't broke.........."

My IG is 8' deep or so, without MD, and dirt settles there anyhow so I just vacuum it up. Personally I wouldn't have a main drain. There have been threads about many problems with them not only from the leak issues but the buried piping. It's also a more complicated process to winterize if that's an issue.
Just my quarters worth.
