Draining water tank

[JimS]

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to drain the water tank faster after sterilizing it?  It takes me about 45 minutes to drain it through the 1/2 inch drain pipe.  With the sterilizing fill and 3-4 flushes afterwards, that is most of the day!  There has to be a better way.
Thanks...

My tank has a drain valve attached to the tank, and it too takes a long time to drain.  I simply unscrew the entire valve from the tank, and it drains very quickly.

You might try sneeking a piece of water hose down your fill opening and hooking it up to a little water pump that you attach to a drill.You can pick them up at Harbor Freight for about $10. The bigger -faster the drill the better.I've had ok luck with them. :usflag:
