Don't suck! Submerge the hose in the pool so it fills with water and all of the air is out. Then put your thumb over the hose opening and quickly lower your hand with the hose to the ground. Remove your thumb and the water will siphon out. That is, so long as the other end of the hose remains submerged. If you have to, tie something heavy, like a brick to the end of the hose that stays in the pool.

By siphoning. Suck the hose full of water to start with, then drop the hose. Remember, though, that the water will flow only until the level of water remaining in the pool is level with the bottom of whichever end of the hose is the highest. In order to drain all the water from the pool, the end of the hose that is inside the pool must be on the pool bottom, and the other end of the hose (outside the pool) must be just a bit lower than the pool bottom.

You need to get a siphoning action going. If the hose isn't too long, hold your thumb over each end and place the pool end as deep into the pool as you can reach and let go. This will sometimes start the siphon going. Alternatively, you can suck on the end of the hose that the water will drain from after placing the other end in the pool. Just be quick about it so you don't end up with a mouthful of dirty pool water.

You use the hose as a siphon. However the drain end of the hose has to be at a lower point than the bottom of the pool in order for this to work.

until you're able to suck commence a Harley, you will in no way get a siphon going with any super length of backyard hose (way too plenty air)! Your suited, and quickest, wager is to lease a power pump from any gadget apartment place (below $10 an afternoon), then you fairly can direct your used pool water into an suited drain. that's environmentally unfriendly (and unlawful in lots of places) to empty it into the backyard, street, or hurricane drain, because of the chemical components it includes. Please drain it right into a kin drain, so it could bypass to the water treatment plant. yet another selection to the ability pump is to fill your backyard hose with water, carry a thumb over each and every end (get somebody that might actually assist you with this), positioned one end interior the pool, and the different into the drain. Now launch the two ends. because of the fact the hose tries to empty, it is going to initiate off draining on it is very own. you additionally can purchase a gasoline siphon in some vehicle departments. that's a rubber bulb with plastic tubing popping out of each and every end. Squeezing the bulb with one end interior the pool gets it began draining. Stick the different end on your backyard hose. wish one among those concepts works for you, good luck!

You can also use your garden hose. Turn the hose on and submerge the end in the pool. While it is still running, disconnect the end at the spigot (yes, you will get wet!) The water will siphon out of the pool as long as the end is kept underwater.

Get a short length of hose, hold it up like a u shape and fill with water. Put your hand over one end so the water doesn't run out. Put that end in the pool. Lay the other end on the ground after you do that and the water will flow out.

You have to suck on the opposite end , kinda like siphoning gas from a car. when the water starts to come down the hose , just quit sucking and let the hose hang down.
