Hello All: I am new to this forum. we recently bought a home that came with a swimming pool with diving board. I am not swimmer nor my two small children. The pool is 10-11 ft deep at the diving end. what can i do to lower the water level ? ANy suggestions will help. I thought of lowering water level, but the pool maintenance company told me that is not possible to do because skimmers on the surface. Can i provide a alternate way for the skimmers to get water ? My sons love swimming I am sure in couple of years we would be able to use whole pool I am looking for a cheaper alternative to pour concrete or fill up the pool with bricks etc. Thanks
