fairy&cake Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 we put the shell paddling pool out lovely and clean and two days later the waters BLACK. I dont really want to pour the water out by tipping it up as its going to make the garden all muddy. What can i buy to empty the water for you? like a suction pump or something??? Like a reversal of a hose pipe??? any help would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 We just have to tip ours out and make the lawn all muddy! Someone on here has dig a sump under their pond. lined with gravel and stones I think. You empty the pond into the sump and it soaks away rather than making the lawn soggy. We're going to make a big soakaway around ours this summer......... I keep telling people that ducks are mucky creatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 My paddling pool is on stones and I just tip it out every 2-3 days and it soaks away quickly. The ducks poo in the water then eat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 What about one of these http://www.toolstation.com/search.html?searchstr=Submerged+Dirty+Water+Pump Not too sure how it works, but from what I can gather you press the button that is attached to the floaty wire and it and it sucks the water out, but I think you need to buy the hose thingy too, you attach it to the pump and you can drain the water down the grid, or water the garden with it . xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
