If he's busy, I'll just drain it. </p> <p>I hate Mosquitos so I always make sure to empty it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1640038 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:11:06 +0000 autumnlove 1640038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: hmmm, maybe it does and I missed it? :-p I'll check later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1640030 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:08:30 +0000 Smurfette 1640030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: your's doesn't have a drain? I would have thought that was a standard thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639972 Fri, 16 May 2014 12:55:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 1639972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, every night we use it I empty it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639947 Fri, 16 May 2014 12:49:56 +0000 swurlygurl 1639947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we also have a drain in ours so I just pull the drain and let it do it's thing while I go inside. We store it outside, under the deck, so if I left it full of water it would turn into pollen-y mud!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639804 Fri, 16 May 2014 12:15:16 +0000 mediagirl 1639804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we always forget. We just had a HUGE rain last night so our pool and water table are full. I kind of want to leave that water until it gets slimy since we didn't have to pay for it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639774 Fri, 16 May 2014 12:05:45 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1639774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yeah! A little black plug that's flush with the basin. Pop it out &amp; water drains! But like I said, there's a raised pattern so unless I turn it over (which I always forget to do!) it gets yucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639753 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:59:29 +0000 autumnlove 1639753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: a drain? Nice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639687 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:40:21 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1639687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. It has a drain in the basin so I pull the plug &amp; it drains. Mosquitos are a concern in the summer!</p> <p>But it gets dirty/moldy easily. There's a raised pattern on the basin and it's a bitch to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639578 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:52:47 +0000 Weagle 1639578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, mainly because we store it in the garage during uses and it's too hard to move when it's filled. And later in the summer any standing water is our enemy - Mosquitos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639576 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:52:35 +0000 Smurfette 1639576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the time we forget. Then we have to scrub it down and R is impatient waiting for us to finish and fill it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-empty-the-water-table-right-away#post-1639571 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:50:52 +0000 autumnlove 1639571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should but I usually don't so I have to hose it down and scrub when I refill it! </p>
