Hello,
I’m asking on behalf of a friend! He wants to pump out his pool into the sewer using a submersible pump and a hose. What experiences do you have with using a slightly thicker hose to reach the sewer without leaving the property? For your information: all the rain gutters drain into soakaway pits, so they lie relatively flat.
My friend thanks you in advance!

Why send the water into the sewer at all? It’s better to distribute it in the garden or into the rainwater tank…
If it does have to go into the sewer, then directly into the main drainage of the house. There should be an access point somewhere.
I wouldn’t use the toilet for this. If it’s a proper submersible pump, the volume of water will be too large.

Proper disposal of pool water: The simplest option, namely infiltration on your own property, is not the correct solution and is prohibited. Pool water is considered wastewater and is classified under the Water Resources Act as altered freshwater. Freshwater is changed through pool use in residential or other settings, for example by chemicals (chlorine), leaves, grass, sand, sunscreen, hair, etc., and must be disposed of through the sewer system.
By the way, this also means that filling the pool using a garden water meter is not allowed.

I wouldn’t use the toilet. If it’s a decent submersible pump, the water volume will be too high. The water is probably contaminated with common chemicals.
The flow rate into the toilet could be controlled via the hose.
