Trouble draining your reservoir?

[Lazyman]

Elevating your reservoir (sitting on a pallet or stand) makes gravity draining much easier than pumping!

For a dude called Lazyman, you sure did build a hell of a stand for your reservoirs, looks like a friggin' gallows. And out of pressure treated no less. Can you come build a deck at my place?

WIsh I could take credit for those, I'm no carpenter. A friend built them for me, nice to have a framing nailer! Thanks tho!

For draining my 5 gal DWC buckets I've been using a drill pump. Standard garden hose can be attached to either end and it's made life much nicer. I took some old hose and cut off the length I needed. You don't get every drop out, but at least most is able to be removed. I also use it for refilling the buckets after flushing with some water.
I'm not sure about posting links but here goes:

There are other brands and capacities of course.... this is just the one I got. Hope this is of some help.....
