Re: Rough guess for drain time of a 16x48 Intex with one hos
We have the same size pool. I started ours by vacuuming to waste, then back washing and rinsing and then continued to waste until the water was down to the intake port. I started this on a Thursday night around 8pm. The rest was left to the garden hose, about 50' going down a slight hill. By Saturday morning it was empty, aside from the water that was below the drain. I'm not sure when it actually got to empty because I wasn't really watching it. I just wanted it empty by Saturday morning and it was.
