How To Drain Above Ground Pool Easy With Hose Part

- "Water or drain plug connector" if you need to buy a replacement on Amazon or at a hardware store.
Every pool we've bought came with the part needed to use a hose to drain the pool, hopefully you didn't throw it away lol. I always hoard extra or replaced parts just in case.
Also, you should not empty pool water down your driveway into the gutter or curb. It should be drained into the sewer clean out pipe located in your yard.
If you don't want to let that precious water go to waste you can recycle it to your own yard by making sure you have let all the chlorine burn out of it and all levels have returned to neutral or else you will kill your grass.
Thank you for watching, please checkout my other pool videos found in the pool time Playlist for other cool hacks and information.
Next I'll show how to get the last few inches of water out of the pool!

Thank you for this video. Was about to buy a drain plug adapter until you mentioned not throwing it out. Draining as we speak!
Awesome! Happy to help!

@@JacquelineParsonsof4 I found it in my garage in the box it came in!

Awesome, most welcome! Happy to help! =)
Thank you so much! This was soo helpful ❤️
Awesome! Happy to help, thank you! 😊 💕
@@LuckSpinnerWe were able to drain our pool after watching this video yesterday. Lol we had NO IDEA what that Extra piece was for 😆😀
@tashahowell3234 That rocks! We hoard all the weird parts they come with because the instructions never say what the parts are or do. I'm happy you still had it, yessss! 😁🌞
I been staring at this piece for 3 days now like where did I go wrong!!!!! I thought I missed something. Geez the instructions for this pool where so bad. Thank for this video.
I hear ya! They did print useless instructions! I'm happy you found it and appreciate you! Happy pool time my friend! 🏝☀️
Do you know what that part is called
@solodolocreep I think, drain valve or drain connector...but I don't have the part #. You can wedge something like a screwdriver in there against a brick or something if you have to but it would just take longer to empty =)
Thank you so much!!!

Currently using a plastic spoon i wedged in 😂
That's brilliant! You're makin' it work! 🤣😄
Mines is in the trash what’s the piece called so I can order it
That sucks. I think "drain valve"
The silver piece where can I find it or the name to it please
I have the same pool what vacuum do you recommend
We love the Intex 28001E Auto Pool Cleaner, it's $65 on Amazon rn. But, our pump is upgraded to the Intex 2800. This vacuum needs a pump flow rate between 1600-3500GPH. I think the pump that comes with the pool can do that but I'd make sure first. Also I did a cheesy review of it if you go to our Playlist tab, "Pool Time" its the 9th video down. Hope this helps, take care! =)
What about the rest that’s below that plug
@CookienCupcake some people use a shop/wet vac or sump pump. I'm cheap and used a flat square sand pail but have seen people use big dust pans. I've also used towels as they soak up tons of water then rung them out or hung them on the ladder to get that last bit. If you have the patience you can look up how to siphon with a garden hose but it can be tricky to get it started. Good luck! 😁
Do I put the hose on the street sewer hole?
No, your houses sewer cleanout. It's usually a green large pipe. Like an RV drain in the ground. Sometimes their close to the house but I've seen em close to the street too. =)
How can I stop dat from leaking
It shouldn't be leaking. Might need to replace the part? Good luck =)
how long do you think it’ll take?? it’s 12:30 am and i’m praying it’ll be drained by 7:30 am
Ours takes a couple days, depends on how many gallons. Good luck for speed with it 😁
how deep is your pool ? looks big
It is! 22'x52'. 10,000 gallons. Cheers! 🌊😁
Where can i buy this
Type "water or drain plug connector" or "valve" people have said they found them on Amazon and at hardware stores for about $10. Good luck 😁
What type of hose is that? My garden hose doesn't fit.
It's a standard size hose but it is heavy duty (we have high pressure). If you search "pool/water drain connector plug" on Amazon or ask at a hardware store you can find a different adapter. Just measure your ID and OD first to be sure it'll match up. Hope that helps, good luck!
@@LuckSpinner thank you!
What is this piece called
I wanna say drain valve or drain connector? Sorry, manual is packed away in storage atm. If need be you can prop a screwdriver in there against a brick or heavy rock but can't use the hose that way. Best of luck! =)
Thanks we have been using a pipe to keep it open but i rather use a hose
Please, once the water level in the pool is below the drain valve, how do you get the rest of the water out?
I have some videos in my "Pool Time" Playlist on this but if you can get a hose to siphon that's a good way. I saw one guy use a giant dust pan to get the very last out once it was an inch deep. If your fancy or have fancy friends a sump pump would be awesome to get to use =)
@@LuckSpinner where can I find the silver part?
@@vforviblz
I siphoned the water out successfully. The siphon method will get every inch of the water out.
@@vforviblz
I was trying to find the video I watched, but couldn't.
But there are many good videos on UA-cam on how to siphon the water out.
As best as I could recount it: Connect your hose as normal to your outside wall spigot. Put the output end of the hose, into your pool. Make sure to put the hose at the lowest level of the pool, where you have the most water accumulated. Hold the hose down with something without obstructing the hose water flow. Then turn on your hose and let water start flowing into the pool....... I know it's counter-intuitive. It's the opposite of what you want, but you must do this first to get the siphoning to work......
Once you see water flowing into your pool, unscrew/disconnect your hose from the wall spigot WITHOUT turning the water off first.
Lay the hose, the end you just disconnected from the spigot, lay it on the grass. You will see water starting to flow out of the hose. This is water from your pool, draining out. Try not to disturb the hose until the water is completely out of the pool. Mine took about 2 hours.....and I only have a 12ft pool.
Hope it works.
@vforviblz I have a "Pool time" Playlist that should have the free hose siphon method vid but I have done all kinds of weird stuff to empty it lol. It's too heavy to flip.. tried that. I used a square sand pail at one point. Saw a guy use a heavy duty dustpan, brilliant! Also towels soak up a ton of water on the very last bit just hang or ring them out. Best of luck, it's such a pain =)
The only problem is that it dosen't empty the whole pool out, it leaves about 5 inchs of pool water leftover. That why i just siphon the water with the water hose using the faucet.
Yep, that's a super fun process. Or a shop vac wet/dry vac can get it. Or a cheap sump pump but we also do the hose siphon way then use a heavy duty flat dust pan or sand pail on that very bottom half inch. Cheers, thank you! =)
Its pretty easy to siphon u just put the hose in the pool turn the water on and then take the hose off the faucet once the water feels up the hose.
@@LuckSpinner
I hooked mine up but once I attach the hose the water doesn't drain. So frustrated!
Weird? Does the valve open though once screwed on and water comes out before attaching the hose? Could there be a blockage inside the hose, like hopefully not a snake or critter or something? =)
@@LuckSpinner yeah the water is pouring out and everything looks great. Until I hook the hose up lol. Then nothing. I've checked everything 100 times to make sure. I keep thinking maybe it just needs some time to travel through the hose, but I've been waiting all day. Does it usually take awhile to start flowing thru the hose?
@SarahLiz8411 no you should see the water very soon after, that is so strange. Only thing I can imagine is the sizing? There was one person in the comments that said their adaptor didn't fit their hose so they got a new one from the hardware store (drain valve, not hose). Could you try a neighbors hose? W/out having to buy anything maybe? I think they are called pool/water drain valve officially. Hope you are able the get it working, that's gotta be annoying, it can take a couple days to drain one of these.
@@LuckSpinner Oh ok. Well I guess I could try that. I have two hoses, two different brands, and I tried them both. Everything fits together just like it's supposed to. Its just so weird. I guess I'll just keep trying it. I watched several videos to confirm everything I'm doing is right and it is so I dunno. Thank you for your help and for responding so quickly! I really appreciate that! 😊
@SarahLiz8411 most welcome, wish you luck with it =)
Where can I get the part??
"Water or drain plug connector" on Amazon for around $10 but maybe you could luck out at a hardware store locally? Hope your able to find one =)
What about that last part that doesn't drain all the way
Shop wet/dry vac.. sump pump, hose siphon. I used a flat sand pail and towells. I've seen people use heavy duty dust pans. Best of luck 😁
Well I'm screwed lol 😭
Hahah naw you can get one from Ace or Amazon or jam a screw driver in there 😁
So that’s what that part is for ….
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂Yepp now I wonder where the f I put that
What’s the name of the piece you put to the hose
Water or drain plug connector or drain valve connector. I've seen them on Amazon before. Good luck! 😁
Frustrating as fuck to watch
Okay 🙃
