My hubby got a drain at our farm store for my medium size kiddie pool. It was simple to install. I unscrew the plug,let it drain, then tip it up to dump the rest and refill. Simple operation. I have to drain and refill mine twice a week. I have 7 ducks.

You dump and refill daily? I'd go thru a LOT of water doing that. Mine are on rock, but they can dig around the pool into the dirt and turn the clean water dk brown within two hours. When mine is stinky enough I smell it before I get there is when I drain and refill. It's a pond not a pool. Big difference. It sure is a hoot to sit and watch them in the fresh water, isn't it? Winter is going to be interesting.

They look kind of like harlequins but with shorter beaks

the first two in the photo are welsh harlequins. not a front picture of them. they are so sweet.

for water I buy the heated buckets, they only come on when temps get below 32* so they are energy eff.
