I just watch the water in the hose and stop sucking once it climbs over the edge and below tank water level. 5-10 seconds before it comes out the end. Still sucking then you deserve a mouthful of fish poo water.
"Wasting" water with large tanks

Haha, I would agree. I can guarantee I don’t suck on the hose that long. 5-10 seconds is a long time.
Curious...... for those who do the primitive sucking of the hose technique; Am I the only one who cups their hand over the end so their mouth doesn’t actually touch the hose?
I like where
twentyleagues
is going with the aenerobic bb. I tried several methods and all either failed or did work but ended up being too intensive.
Definitely like the pump idea. I drain my 300 and 100 gal sump down to fin level in exactly 9 minutes

At the end of the day there is almost no feasible way to not "waste" some sort of water and be in this hobby. Dumping a few 100 gal onto your front lawn or even down the drain is just unavoidable.
Imo allot of the articles written are laced with political innuendo on both sides. Monsoon in one area drought in another. Hard to say its a fact but some scientists state that our planet has been losing waer ever since large bodies of water existed.

Plant a Passion flower or bush so the pipe is hidden, then collect your reward
Might be easier to tell with this shot, no holes in the wall, I just open a window, with PVC waiting outside on the porch, after the window is open, swivel and attach the PVC to the threaded line which has a closed valve to the sump and open the valve. Instead of water heading to the sump, it is diverted outside. It of course, would never win a "house beautiful" award
Get more plants that love water, maybe a bald cypress or a potted willow
I dump as much tank water as I can into my front yard,water all potted plants and I keep a bucketfull saved for my dog's drinking water.
