I have worked on over 60,000 pools and have seen a drain valve once. The pool was built in the 30's on the coast and they used to pump sea water into it once a week and drain it to the ocean. I have drained pools by siphoning but you need enough grade to do this or a hillside behind the pool with a long enough hose to prevent soil erosion. You're better off renting a submersible pump.
