What happens to the water in the bottom drain pipe after winterizing an in-ground pool?

During prper winterization, the water in the bottom drain is usually "blown" out with compressed air. How this happens, is that a pipe with a schrader valve (the same type of valve on a ture intertube) is inserted into a pipe that is threaded into the pipe below the skimmer (with the leaf basket removed) An air compressor is then used to fill the tube with air. The air forces the water out of the entire pipe. Bubbles will come up from the drain when all of the water has been blown out of the pipe. The pressure of the air being in the pipe keeps the water from flowing back into the pipe. Hope this answers your question.

Is it wrong to drain your plaster pool when the temperature is above 100?
Why would you drain your pool just becasue the water is hot? Never drain your inground pool unless you have first cut holes in the bottom of the pool to keep it from floating. If the water table in your area is high enough, your inground pool could "float" out of the ground, effectively ruining your pool.

If you have an inground gunite pool that was drained using the pump why can't you develop suction to drain it out now that there is only a bit in the bottom?
Most electric pumps have a guard at the bottom to prevent leaves and such from getting into the pump. Unfortunately, you need to have usually about 1/2" to 1" of water in the pool for the pump to work. I would suggest trying to drain the remaining water with a hose.
