Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2003 15:18:31 -0700

I just recently got my pump up and running by installing a aux battery.
I very happy that this topic came up, cause this is my next chore on my
list
(after finding a suitable magnet for my beloved hula girl).
Is there a easy way to drain the water tank itself?
