[DIY] Re: Water Level /Shop Vac?

 

A simpler method is to run the hot tub on high, and hold the vacuum hose over one of the jets; let the other end of the vacuum hose fall to a lower point (NOT connected to vacuum cleaner), and it will drain. 

• If the hose if completely hole free/ leak free, it will start siphon action, and holding the hose end over the jet will no longer be required. 
• MUCH, MUCH faster than the vacuum cleaner. 
• If the hose has any pin-holes, siphon action will not work. (tho' you may be able to tape/ seal any holes.)

I use it to help drain our hot tub and it works great>>
