I'm trying to find ways to make my w/c easier. Filling isn't an issue right now, as I just toss prime in and gradually fill it up with 3 gallon buckets from the bath tub faucet (strongest faucet in my house).
I like the ease of draining tanks with those systems, but don't like the idea of draining them down my sink drain. Not only that, as I mentioned before the bath tub faucet has the best flow and is easier to control the temperature (old sinks everywhere else, really slow flow).
I'd much rather drain them outside or in the toilet. Is there some sort of extension or attachment I can use for my current gravel vacuum so it can reach? I read a few ppl starting their gravel vacs then shoving the end hose into a garden hose, but what sort of attachment would I need so water doesn't spill all over? I also read about just buying a 20+ foot clear tubing at a hardware store and replacing that with the regular gravel vac hose, but I'd have to find the measurements on it to fit.
