    Can anyone suggest a way of doing this? The pool conatians approx. 100 litres and is at the top of an incline so perhaps siphoning would suffice. The siphon would then need to be connected to a hose pipe which would be placed in a drain.

    Would the siphon get clogged with the inevitable debris in the pool? What sort of siphoning device would be suitable and where can it be purchased?

    Thanks in advance.

    I used to use a pond vacuum... gonna assume you don't have one.

    Failing that, you could use a garden hose and a drill pump attachment (available from Woodies for about 10 Euro)..

    It uses a standard power drill to drive the pump mechanism.. nice and cheap solution.

    Something similar here to give you an idea what they look like

    Ahhh I have visions of all the poor, confused ducks standing up to their ankles in mud, wondering where all the water has gone! Sorry :D
