Heck, you need a siphon. I'd offer to bring you a 100' hose, but, well, I'm kinda house-bound right now. o.O (When I needed to drain my 36g fish tank, I set up a siphon from it straight to the toilet. Toilets are great for getting rid of lots and lots of water!)
Twenty feet or so would let me point it out the window into the gutter for the second-floor roof (which was my plan if only I could find that mumblefrotz plastic tubing that I remember having someplace).
I tried pulling the coloured wires out of a no longer needed length of grey telephone cord to turn it into a (small) hose, but after the first six inches or so, all I was doing was stretching it and making the far end skinnier and skinnier. *sigh*
I figure even if whatever siphon I manage to make as a tiny slow rate, it can just run and run and run and drain the pool over the course of however many unrainy days we have when this finally stops.
