Hooking up drain kit to waterbed?

Answers:
I had the problem of getting the water out of the bed I had. Siphoning with a half inch garden hose took for hours till a plumber mate told me a quicker way.
After inserting the hose into the bladder until it was lying along the bottom, I taped the hose to the filler hole with a good sticky tape so no air could enter the bladder. It HAS to be air tight. I then hung the hose out through the window so the end of the hose was below the bed and started the siphoning. As the water leaves the bladder, lower pressure develops in the bladder and the atmosphere pressure on the outside of the bladder (being 14.7per square inch) over the entire bed, forces the water out and in no time the bed is empty.
Fill the hose full of water first, then tape one end into the bed and drop the other end. The water already in the hose works to start the siphoning.
