The syphon action sucks most of the water out, but I get the rest of it out by just holding the vac end at about chest height while making sure the rest of the hose is lower (on the floor, in my case), and coiling it as I walk toward the faucet, making sure each little section that I am about to coil drains into the rest of the section on the floor. By the time I get to the faucet, I just life the entire coil higher than the faucet, and whatever water is left drains right out. Then I turn off the water and disconnect. That whole draining/coiling process takes me about 1-2 min., tops.

Do others have any python techniques they would like to share?

That's what I do and it works great. I use about 2 arm lengths for each circle so they are all about the same size.

i havent tried it yet, but you can make your own python with a water bed filler and some like hose and stuff.
