This is what you want to drain with.

Blue Devil 100-Foot Backwash Hose for Pool with Hose Clamp, 1-1/2" W x 100' L https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JDHOR32/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_6tCSDbZWJGRX9


Using this hose will not only make it faster to drain, but will likely stop your pump from overheating. Sump pumps are cooled by the water flowing through them, so eliminating back-pressure by using a bigger hose will help it stay cool (and not burn the motor out).

I'm making the same costume for my wife. I found flexible pvc spa hose on Amazon. It is rigid enough to hold it's shape, but flexible enough to bend: https://www.amazon.com/Sun2Solar-1%C2%BD-inch-Flexible-Above-Ground-Swimming/dp/B06W2N4Q1T/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=spa+hose&qid=1558119853&s=gateway&sr=8-5

I'm planning to add the "ribs" from her tentacles by using pipe insulation foam around the spa hose, and then shaping it with fine sand paper. Foam insulation is here: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Frost-King-1-in-x-6-ft-Foam-Plumbing-Tubular-Pipe-Insulation/3133247 . I'm still trying to figure out the best way to add that "alien skin" look to the tentacles. I'm looking into silicone molding, but it looks pretty advanced for me.

Good luck!

Buy a 100' colapaible hose. https://www.amazon.com/U-S-Pool-Supply-Swimming-Backwash/dp/B071K99H1R/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504964229&sr=8-1&keywords=100+foot+pool+backwash+hose

You will need to drain your pool partially from time to time and it is handy to have around
