Do you have the manual for your filter? If you don't what is the brand and model, most major brands have docs for download. It may also be called drain instead of waste.

Sorry for the late response to you questions guys. My schedule has been hectic.
My filter is a Posi-FloII Sta-Rite Mod# PTM70. Cartridge filter type.
I bought the filter at a local pool store, i think the filter brand is dolphin.
There is a valve at the bottom of my filter housing that I can open and it let out water. I have used this when the pool gets to high from the rain. But there is a hole at the bottom of the skimmer I have never used. I can't figure out what it is for.
Thank you all again for your time.
Page 11 here tells you how to set your filter to vacuum to waste.

Also, I thought that extra hole in the skimmer was just a dummy hole to hold a skimmer guard over the winter.
sweet. Thanks for finding the manual for me. It will come in handy.
Most of the time the extra hole is there for routing the main drain through the skimmer. Saves the builder from plumbing two lines to the pump.Originally Posted by doggie
