Getting water out of wort chiller

[Revvy]

Surprised that no one else has tried this or at least not bothered to comment on it.

Because I don't find that it does the job.....

Thanks for the continued suggestions.

I had a brew day on Saturday and before I could tell my brother about the different options, he instinctively blew into the hose. Took a few seconds, but he got the water out. I think I just have weak lungs.

If I had a convenient (or any) source of compressed air or the like, I'd use that method in a heartbeat.

I used to blow into it but now I hook it up to a pump. The pump is for my wife's excercise ball, I think it cost $5 tops, the outlet hose fits perfect and you just push down on it repeatedly for 15-20 seconds to get all the water out.

Hmmm...I actually might have something like that sitting around. A rummage through the garage is in order.
