Vinyl path drain plug for kiddie pool?

[atgcpaul]

Kids are bugging me to setup the inflattable kiddie pool. Biggest problem (other than leaves and pollen) is draining it to clean it/move it. There's no drain plug. I use a siphon to get out most of the water but it's slow. My Google Fu isn't working for me. Can someone point me to a drain plug that can be glued in like a vinyl patch? The air drain plug on an aero bed would be perfect or a screw type plug.

Thanks
Paul

Why not buy a cheap air mattress with one of those air drain plugs, cut it out and then patch it in to the pool? Our air mattress has one of those screw plugs and I don't think we paid too much for it.

I agree that those are a pain! I'm not sure if this helps much, but I had to get a small electric water pump for another purpose. It gets transferred to pool-emptying duty when necessary - huge improvement! I'm anxious to hear of other solutions. Good luck!

Any store that has the usual boat hardware (Ace, Walmart, boat dealer ) sells fittings for bait boxes and line wells called a bulkhead fitting that is threaded on on end and will seal nicely on poly.
