I'd like to purchase this pool to use at my homebirth. How do you drain it when it's indoors?

Take a hose, place one end in the filled indoor pool, and the other end outside where the water can go. Get a suction going (by mouth by sucking on the outdoor end until the water comes through) or by using a syphoning pump, then leave it alone until it is drained; similar to syphoning gas from a car to a gas can. Otherwise, use a bucket until it is bailed out like a boat. Use towels to get the remaining puddles out of the pool. Good luck. Try looking up how to syphon.

You can use a hose with a fish tank drain attachment. You attach it to you sink and it reverses the flow of the water to drain. Once it only had a few gallons left we just used a pot. You can buy the sink attachment at the hardware store or a fish store. It isn't more than a couple of dollars. We used this one but there are others...http://www.amazon.com/Lees-The-Ultimate-Super-Pump/dp/B0002APT4A/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid;=1384661468&sr;=8-5&keywords;=garden+hose+siphon

good lord, have it in the hospital. it comes out with the cord around its neck and you want to be in the hospital for emergency surgery, not having a baby die in a blow up pool like my friend did. If you really want a pool / home like birth just do it in a cozy hospital suite with the pool and tell the Drs and nurses you dont need their help unless there is an emergency.

We only used it out doors, you might be able to use a hose to siphon or empty it with buckets.

We hooked up a clear plastic hose (from Home Depot) to a bucket on the floor. We empty it about every 8 hours or so. That way you never have to drain it, until you store it for the winter.

I have had it for 2 months and never had to drain it. It reuses the water it collects to cool the room. Not that it NEVER needs draining. But if it did, the drain is right at the bottom. You would have to slide a tray under it and use that to drain it.

It's quite heavy when it is full of water, so I use the drain. Plus, it's easier to remove my child once the water has drained out a bit. Once it has drained down I do turn it over to dry.

It can be used at home. Yo can take it to the sink but you don't have to. It brings a hose in the back and you can put a bucket , open the hose and drain. I really love it and my client's love that the water remains hot.

no drains for the pool but you can do it 2 ways, step on the sides and water drains or turn off blower and water drains out, we never really had any problems draining it, then we would turn the blower back on for a bit to let it dry out, hope this helps

Nope. The drain is located below the green seat, so you'd have to take the seat out to drain it. I lift my LO out and rinse her in the shower; then I just flip tub over to drain it. It's a vey comfy tub, however. LO loves it If you're looking for an easy to drain one, I definitely recommend the 4moms, also sold by Amazon. I have one at my mother's house, the drain is located at LO's feet. It really depends on your bathing situation. If you bathe LO in shower or tub, the easiest way to drain is flipping the tub over after you've finished bathing and dressing LO. This really is a comfy tub, and my LO's favorite. Nope.

I have a pool drainer that I purchased online for less than $20.00. Or you can use a hose like for syphoning gas. I try to keep a lot of water off the top due to the heaviness and extra wear and tear on cover. Esp. In the spring when the ice melts.

In one of the corners there is a drain plug. You can pull the plug and then drain it. Once it's almost empty. You just lift it. It's very light. And just be sure it's completely dry before putting it away. You don't want mold to get inside. But we love it.

No drain. You have to turn it to dump water and hang to dry. It's easy to maintain. Great tub! Love ours.

The tub doesn't "fill up." The overlap that allows it to lay flat when not in use also allows it to drain as your bathe the baby. This is not a conventional tub that you fill and then put the baby in. It's a place for baby to be comfortably supported while being bathed.

There are pumps out there that will do what you want. I have a portable one that sits flush on the floor and has a metal holed screen on the bottom to keep debris out. I actually had to use it when my built in sump pump stopped working. It pretty much sucked up all the water in the basement into just wet looking spots. You just attach any size garden hose to it and pump it out to where you want it to go. I pumped it into a basement sink. The one I have has no on off switch and it turns itself off when there's no longer water to suck up.

You should dump the water daily. My son pretty much pours most of the water out by the end of each play session anyway. I use the highest pressure setting on the hose to clean it before refilling each time. It is also good to wash it out with dish soap and a hard brush now and then. We store ours in the basement when not in use. A heavy wind will send this thing tumbling through your yard if empty. The balls get nasty if left in water and they are very hard to clean. We are going on our 3rd summer with this table and it is still a big hit. I usually purchase this as gifts for 1st birthdays because all kids love water. You should dump the water daily.

I only have my grandkids on occassional weekends, so fill if weather permits swimming, and pull the plugs (2) for draining after the weekend is over. The water flowed out well as my patio has a slight decline toward the slide end, then I used a soft broom to sweep the remaining water (and sand from the sandbox) over the edge, let dry, further dried with a towel, dried and folding it up and put it in a bin. I had it up for a total of 2 1/2 days before emptying. I sure wouldn't use chemicals in any case; they're chemicals! and not sure how the pool would hold up to them besides. I'm fairly sure you could leave it filled for a week or so, maybe more if the kids are in it everyday to avoid stagnant water.

Turn it on and immediately submerge it into the pool. This is the best pool vacuum I've ever had.

There is a plug that you open to drain the water. My granddaughter loves this! She received it as a birthday gift in July when she turned 1.

Easy. Open the lid. Lift out the basket and the water goes in the well under the basket. There is a fill line also when you are done if you are not going to use it for a few days there is a drain spout. I just set it over my sink and let it drain and wipe it out. It's ready the next time you need it.
