Approximate Draining Time Soft Side Waterbeds:
First you will need to unplug you heater.
Then burp or bleed all air from the mattress. Running the pump for more than 60 seconds dry (air running through the head of the pump) will burn up the rubber impeller or worse burn up the pump. Do not run the electric pump dry!
Attach the female end of the garden hose to the out port of pump. (This will be marked and is where the water will drain.)
Then place the other end of the garden hose: outside, basement floor drain, toilet, tub, and utility sink. Wherever you place it be sure that the place can handle the water that will be pumped out without overflowing, pudding up, or flooding around building foundations.
Attach the short utility drain hose to the other male in port of the electric pump.
The other end of the short utility hose will attach and thread to the valve of the mattress using the plastic mattress adaptor from your drain and fill kit.
You will need to stay with the pump until it is completely drained and immediately replace the plug and cap to vacuum seal.
Moving the mattress should only be done when the waterbed mattress is completely vacuum packed this will keep your internal wave control system in place so it won’t shift, bunch, or wad up. Only when the mattress is completely flat and vacuum-sealed should you attempt to move it.
