It is not required to lower the water level below the skimmer opening when you are installing the skimmer winterizing plate and winterizing return plug. In areas with harsh winters, a water level at or slightly below the skimmer level would be sufficient. Installation videos for the Winter Skimmer Plate and Winter Plug can be found on the following pages:
