If installed under building permit, the plan for this pool
also indicated where it would be drained, with special
reference to the septic system tile field.  Siphoning
out through a single garden hose will lower the level
at least one inch per hour.  A pump naturally works
much faster.  The practical question is whether you
drain to natural ditches, sewage drains etc.
