how do you drain this pool? Thanks.

Nifty plugs. It's easy (and faster than you think) to drain both water and air. Amazing quality for the price. We expected it to be disposable at its price, but it's stout and well-designed. You are in for a treat.

We just deflated it and when enough air came out just pushed a side down and the water flowed out. Then we pulled on a corner thereby flipping to get the remaining water out.

there is a drain plug on the bottom that works well. you may have to help by propping up the opposite corners when the water level gets low

I just put a 5 gal bucket next to mine and connected with a syphon tube so they would drain evenly. Cut a slot in one edge of the top for it to pass and weighted the ends of the tube to keep them on bottom. Could chain together as many as you want. Was gone 3 weeks and worked great. Also use dehumidifier water to avoid minerals and a couple drops of bleach keeps fungi from growing in the water.

Hi, this is Steve from Aqua Products. To remove the unit from the water, gently pull the unit from the cable to the pool surface and then grab the unit by the handle - let drain and then pull from the water. Note: When possible it's always best to rinse the unit with fresh water after each use.

read the instruction manual. there will be a section on this. i believe there's a "cap" that needs to be removed first. but it's likely you do not have the drain hose LOWER than the unit so it cannot flow correctly.

Turning the valve to backflush and turning on the pump allows pool water to wash the dirt from the sand and it flows out an outlet designed for this. I have attached a old pump hose to mine to allow it to drain out in the yard. Good pump!

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.

Keep a little water in it all the time. The only time I totally drain mine is to clean it.

Just to add to Matt M's comment.... instead of the rag, use the plastic service plugs that came with the pool to block the hole after removing the pump. You did keep those, right?

Attach the end of the hose to the water supply. Then all you have to do is turn the water on and watch the hose grow. When are finished with the hose to drain water, turn the water off and hold the nozzle till water drains out.

On the outside of the pool near the bottom, there is a valve. The valve has threads and you should be about to connect a garden hose to it and run the garden hose to the proper area where you want the drainage to flow. If your daughter lives within city limits, she may need to check city ordinance to see where the approve of draining the water. Hope that helps!

It has a hose connection so you can set it up to drain that way. I've only used it by emptying the bucket every few days.

It does not have a drain, but it doe have a pop valve on top. You could very easily take that out and rig up a hose or pipe hooked us an extinction into the tank and siphon water out.

What I do is just turn it upside down (be careful of the plastic threads) and let it drain.. That's about all you can do..

You screw the water hose in one port, then a "drainage" hose on the other port. I just drain mine in the grass and work fast. Most small pumps can't handle it.

There I no drain plug. Even if ther was it would not be accessible since the skimmer is dug into the ground. The only thing to worry about cleaning in it is the net and the brushes. Both slide out easily from the top.

The pool does have drains in each pool(above slide and below) but they are small. I found it easiest just to drain some and then turn the pool over and dump the water but that is risking ripping the pool. One more thing..dont get this if you do not have an air compressor because im pretty sure it would be impossible to do by mouth.

You must prime the pump, open all three drains on pump. One on top of motor, one on top of filter and one on bottom of filter. Make sure all the air is out of the pump. Also make sure both pool hose drain cocks are open.
