The fluid transfer protection sleeve is a conduit with a liquid port on one end and a hose port on the opposing end. The fluid transfer protection sleeve is comprised of an angled section, a vented body, and a solid walled section that are connected to create an interior channel from the hose port to the liquid port. The liquid port is located on the angled section. Upon insertion of the hose into hose port, the liquid is drawn in (or out) through the liquid port and vents, thus drawing (or discharging) water away from the bottom of the pond. Furthermore, the interior channel prevents the hose from coming into contact with liner and thus preventing damage. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A fluid transfer protection sleeve comprising: a conduit comprising a sidewall, a first end defining a first opening, and a second end defining a second opening opposing said first end; a first section of said conduit that is angled relative to a second section of said conduit; wherein said first opening is located in said first section. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A fluid transfer protection sleeve of claim 1 further comprising at least one vent disposed through said sidewall of said second section. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) A fluid transfer protection sleeve of claim 2 wherein said at least one vent and said first opening are oriented in substantially the same direction. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A fluid transfer protection sleeve of claim 1 further comprising a screen covering said first opening. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A fluid transfer protection sleeve of claim 1 wherein said angle is 90 degrees. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A fluid transfer protection sleeve of claim 1 wherein said conduit is integral. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A fluid transfer protection sleeve of claim 1 wherein said conduit is made of polyvinyl chloride. ### Claim 8 A fluid transfer system comprising: a body of water; a receiving tank outside said body of water; a pump connected to said receiving tank; a conduit comprising a sidewall, a first section having a first end defining a first opening wherein said first section is angled relative to a second section of said conduit, said first opening is oriented away from bottom of said body of water, said second section having a second end defining a second opening opposing said first end, and said conduit extending from outside said body of water into said body of water with at least said first section and a portion of said second section located in said body of water; and a hose connected to said pump wherein said hose is disposed through said second opening of said conduit into said portion of said second section located within said body of water. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) A fluid transfer system of claim 8 further comprising at least one vent disposed through said sidewall of said second section. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A fluid transfer system of claim 9 wherein said at least one vent is oriented away from said bottom of said body of water. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) A fluid transfer system of claim 9 wherein said at least one vent and said first opening are oriented in substantially the same direction. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) A fluid transfer system of claim 9 wherein said at least one vent is located in said portion of said second section located within said body of water. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) A fluid transfer system of claim 8 further comprising a screen covering said first opening. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) A fluid transfer system of claim 8 further comprising a stand attached to said conduit adjacent to said second opening. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) A fluid transfer system of claim 14 wherein said stand is mounted outside said body of water. ### Claim 16 (depends on 8) A fluid transfer system of claim 8 wherein said angle is 90 degrees. ### Claim 17 (depends on 8) A fluid transfer system of claim 8 wherein said conduit is integral. ### Claim 18 (depends on 8) A fluid transfer system of claim 8 wherein said conduit is made of polyvinyl chloride.
