Q: Larger areas, such as pools or deeply flooded basements, will need to be pumped carefully into larger drainage systems to avoid overflow. Choose a system with a high drainage capacity, such as a local sewer. Though laws may vary from state to state, sewers are generally the best option for draining pools. When pumping a tub of collected water or few inches of water out of a basement, you can often use a gutter or storm sewer. As you pump, make sure to position the end of the hose away from your house or on a grade where it naturally dumps into the drainage point. If the water has been chemically treated, such as hot tub water, then you should use the gutter option. With clean water, such as water collected on a flat rooftop, you can use either the gutter or the ground. Choose a gutter closeby or a grassy slope that will be able to easily and safely absorb the water. This is especially important if you’re draining a large amount of water, such as a pool or hot tub. Your local government can confirm or suggest a good time and place for you to drain the water. Make sure your hose is long enough to reach the drainage point, and lay it out before you begin pumping. Position the hose so it’s facing directly into the drainage site. Unroll the rest of the hose back to the area that needs draining, then connect it to the submersible pump.
A: Locate a large drainage system if you’re pumping a lot of water. Select a gutter or storm sewer for moderate amounts of water. Dump small amounts of water into gutters or the ground nearby. Confirm with your local municipality before you start pumping water. Place the hose nozzle at the drainage site and unroll the hose.
