The rules and regulations for this really depend on your local city ordinances. To some extent, this will also depend on the condition of the water you are trying to dispose of. That being said, to remove the water from your pool you will need a submersible pump. You can rent them from some Home Depot or Lowe's locations, or you can buy them at most hardware stores. The way which is approved and the preferred method by all cities would be that you remove your pool water by tapping into your sewer clean out line for your property.

Having a swimming pool in the backyard means having a place to splash around with the kids, get some low-intensity exercise or simply escape the blazing summer heat in the cool, clean water.

If you find yourself with leftover pool chemicals, do you know what to do with them?

What is meant when you say vacuum out to waste?
Some filter systems, especially sand filters, have a valve that allows you to exhaust the dirty water outside of the pool rather than return it back into the pool. For example, when cleaning their filter, many filter manufacturers instruct you to backflush to waste, meaning that you aren't supposed to return the dirty water to the pool but instead dispose of it outside the pool. Some other filter systems, like cartridges, do not always have this valve option. However, it is handy, regardless of which filter system you might have. There are always times when you might want to use your pump to dispose of some water (like when you're vacuuming out the really green guck on the bottom of a pool with algae). Hope this helps...
