Emptying Pool Water..To Where?

[geoeremite]

Our waste line is just a standard hose bib and that limits the outbound flow. When I first drained, I rather timidly inserted the hose and watched really carefully, half expecting to see water gurgling out the kitchen drain (the cleanout is just below the kitchen). Turned out to not be an issue.

How well do you like your neighbors? I say let if flood the yard of the neighbor that you don't like.
Just kidding. Normally a backwash hose is run to the street so that it can drain out to a normal drainage field or gutter drain.
You should check with your local code enforcement.
