Long story short: new house, first time pool owner, high CYA and need to drain pool.
I have a ball valve that opens up to my out spout (not sure if that's the right term, and as per people on TFP it's a crappy valve). I had a lot of difficulty trying to open it and people here said to replace the PVC. Gave it one last shot, and I was able to open it.
Issue is that it opens up next to the house, and don't want to dump a few thousand gallons next to the house. I found the old blue hose (pictures) which I thought would fit around PVC and I could snake it to the street. But it's too narrow and it won't fit around the PVC.
What is the next step? Is there a PVC attachment that I could narrow it so the old blue hose would fit around it? What are my alternatives?
Sorry pics taken at night.
TIA
