Advice: If you plan on putting the bed in storage
for a number of months, you should put fresh treatment in
the mattress several days prior to draining. This will
help keep the inside of the mattress from souring. How
long a mattress can last in storage depends on how well it
is put away and what the warehouse conditions are. There
are several ways of removing the water.

Tube Type Mattress
|
With tube type waterbed mattress, you can
simply pick it up and carry it to the sink, tub, or outside.
Open the fill valve and let it drain while maneuvering the
tube for best drainage.
Full motion mattresses on the second
floor can let gravity do the work by running the hose down
stairs. |
