Where should the water level be in an in-ground pool?
Its simplicity, though, is precisely why it checking the water level is overlooked by many owners. Most pool professionals agree that the water level in both in-ground and above-ground pools should be at the midpoint of the pool skimmer. The skimmer is responsible for providing a pathway for water to flow to the filter where it is cleaned.

If the water level is too high, debris will float back out into the pool rather than being trapped by the skimmer. And the flow of water into the main filtration system will be less efficient, because optimal flow occurs when the water surface is exposed in the skimmer.
