If you go the pump route I think what you want is a sump pump. I may be
wrong but I think they are often designed to drain more of the contents than
a pond pump. I would guess HD or the like will have several models. If you
arent draining everything Laguna makes a utility pump. I saw some pretty
cheap on Ebay. HTH

In a lack of forward thinking I have placed my hot tub behind the pond on
my
patio and therefore have no way to drain the hot tub - as I am sure the
pond
wouldn't like the hot water or the peroxide based chemicals I use in it.
So
I need recommendations for a pump or other alternative to remove the water
from the spa to the storm drain across the pond and through the grass and
over the walkway. AND NO I am not going to deal with the hose siphon set
up - as I get older I have less patience for that set up. :-)
