Yeah, that’s how I drain the swamp coolers at work now. I learned a lot that day.
Another neat trick if you have a long run, is pump your siphon hose up with water from another hose until it starts coming out in the tank you want to drain. Then take the hose away and the siphon will (usually) start itself.
For future reference you can siphon from a tank very easily by just filling up the tube inside the tank and then capping it with your thumb
