water bed drainer?

Question

I need to know what you call the thing that you put on the end of a hose to drain a water bed...and where can i find one...my best friend is moving, and they need to drain her sons waterbed...problem is that the part has went missing that you put in the bed to drain it...and we dont have a clue what to call it or where to look for one...HELP PLEASE!!!!

Answer 1

We got it from Walmart. Another choice is to look for a water bed store, call them and get it.

Answer 2

Put a hose into the water bed after you run water through the hose to get all the air out then move the drain end of the hose to a lower location, The water in the hose will pull the water from the bed

Answer 3

It is called a water bed siphoning tube. You should be able to get one at the place were the bed was purchased. I have also known Walmart to have them in the bedding area near the comforters and such. If you can't find one you can do as the first person said and siphon it out by mouth, but be careful the chemicals and bacteria that are in the water can make you sick. Also instead of trying to run it to the sick, hang the hose out the window if possible. That will give you a better flow and drain the bed faster.

Answer 4

You can use an ordinary garden hose and create a sipon drain. Put one end in to the water bed water, and the other in a nearby sink. Suck the water through the hose until it reaches the sink end and then let it drain out. The end of the hose you are draining to must be lower that the water bed.

Answer 5

Go to Lowes and get a "Electric Drill pump".It has a garden hose fitting on it,You'll have to get a short piece of hose (say 25' or less) andanother piece long enough to terminate at the draining location.I would be careful,being water and electric don't mix.You will be able to drain it in a fraction of the time!

Answer 6

Go on the net look for waterbed mfg and write them about the drain fixture. Also you can go to a mattress store and ask if they have one you can borrow for the time.

Answer 7

Now whether they still have one or not as I no longer have my waterbed, but I got the last attachment from a major department store chain in the bedding section.

Also, if you can, rent a pump to make the job quicker and easier too.

Answer 8

i always just used a garden hose.....use the end that will screw onto the matress drain.... when you get it on tight, press down on the matress until you hear the water flowing......it should keep draining, but check on it periodically.......they also sell them at wal-mart or your local matress store(if they sell waterbeds )
