You can put this solution on YOUR website! Emptying the pool is one job
Faucet I 6 hours
It does 1/ 6 of the job in 1 hour
Faucet II 3 hours
It does 1/ 3 of thejob in 1 hour
Together they will do 1/ 6 + 1/ 3
Together they will do 1/ 2 of the job in one hour
So in 2 hours they will complete emptying the pool
