On getting the water out, Use Bread, white as it dissolves better, in the
pipe to block the water. They also make dissolving ball, kinda like the
bath scent balls.


Believe it or not sometimes bread residue will clog a fixture. Sometimes I
use a shop vac to suck water out or a compressor blow back threw the system
and then they do make gelatin plugs to jamb up the pipe. Yes I have used
bread more than once.
