Emptying paddling pool

oldbill1969

I have recently taken over an hour to fill the daughters paddling pool and it suddenly hit me that I also have to empty it. Normally we have had very small pools where I use a bucket and pour it into the drain. Even with a small pool this was quite time consuming. Now with such a big pool it will probably take all day. Does anyone know of a reasonably cheap mechanical aid to empty a pool and preserve my back for a couple of more years. Thanks

Syphon it out using a length of garden hose, cheap as chips

You must be superman, a 2 metre diameter pool with just over a foot of water in it weighs about a tonne!

go with curiousone's idea, it saves on hernias.

Invite all your friends over, have a BBQ, then pour a couple of bottles of vodka in the pool, and hand one of these to all your guests, sit back, and enjoy! :beer:
