I suppose I could use a bare garden hose as a simple siphon to drain the pool. But ideally, I would like to somehow attach a garden hose to the filter or to a vacuum line to drain. There are times I need to drain the pool, like after a rainy week. It would be nice to be efficient and water my lawn and plants with the drained water. In the past I have used a vacuum hose to do that, but it doesn't reach very far. I can reach a lot farther with the garden hoses I already own.
The only post I see on the topic is here:
Garden Hose Adapter Pool Draining
Unfortunately, no link was provided so I am unsure where to find a part like that. My waste port is built in such as way that it can currently have a vacuum hose attached, but not a garden hose. My waste port adapter currently looks exactly like this:

Can anyone find a 1.5" to 0.75" (garden hose) adapter anywhere? I found something on Home Depot that is close but it's 1.25" instead:
