Removing the filter from your wet / Dry vac makes it a wet vac. Only vacuum water with a wet/dry rated vac. If you use a regular vac you might ruin the vac or electrocute yourself.
Remove it with a wet/dry vac.
Wet-Dry vac across the surface
have you tried using a garden hose, and then strating a siphon with it? Sort of like siphoning gas. If you are not talking about a lot of water, than you could use a big shop vac and empty it as needed. Check for a paper filter in the vac before starting, if it is like most shop vac you will need to remove this filter before using it with water. also, make sure it is a wet/dry vac. I use a garden hose or my vac hose, , but it will not drain it completely. There is not enough water pressure once the majority of the water is out. I secure a heavy wrench on the end to keep it underwater. Then I take a small fish pond pump to drain the rest. Of course, if you plan to replace the liner, just cut a small slit in the bottom. Hope this helps.
Undo the clamp on the oil filter canister, remove the oil filter element, (never figured out a not ghetto way to do this) vacuum out the oil at the bottom of the canister with a wet/dry shop vac, put new filter element in and put new oil into the canister. Put the top back on securely and tighten the clamp back down.

The wet vac is a vacuum that can get water or substance off of hard type floors such as hardwood or concrete. You can find wet vacs at any type of general merchandise store such as Wal-Mart or Home Depot.
The brand new shop vac 6 is made by the company Shop-Vac. vacuums. The 6 actually stands for 6 gallons which is what the vacuum holds. They are the makers of the original wet dry vac.

Try a wet/dry vac
Yes. I'm certainly no expert, but I recently used my shop-vac to clean up my spa and drain the remaining 20 or so gallons in the bottom.I took the filter out and removed the drain plug from the bottom of the canister. It didn't have as much suction as I thought, so as the hose filled up, I lifted it up and let the water drain into the canister. I had to shut off the vacuum to let the water drain out, then continued. It took a while, but was pretty easy.
