If the circulator pump works, can you use backwash? That's what my parents did, the one time they wanted to drain the pool.
Years ago, I built a sump pump and discharge hose. With a cheapie from Harbor Freight, you might be able to make such a rig for under fifty bucks. Sixty, maybe.

I have a swamp that I need to drain and refill. It's a pain siphoning with a garden hose. I have a pool vacuum hose (1.5 inches in diameter) but it's hard to suction by mouth.
Any way to cheaply generate suction on a 1.5 inch vacuum hose?
