We finally got our water level to just below the skimmer. We shut off the water, and installed the skimmer and aqualuminator. While my DH was working on the electric, the water level finally reached the skimmer and we noticed a trickle of water running down the outside of the pool from the skimmer. Not sure what we did wrong as everything seems like it's tight fitting, but we will have to take it apart and re-do it. I know this is a dumb question, but we don't even know how to drain the water out. What is the best way? We only need to lose a couple inches if that. Thanks!
