Default Any idea how to jury rig a dirty water pump to drain the last3 inches?

I modified a HF fountain pump by taping off the
sides, so it would draw closer to the floor of
the wet area. Wonder if you can modify this pump?

The shovel routine sounds a bit like work. Others
suggested a shop vac. When the shop vac is full,
you can put the pump into the shop vac canister.

Instead of running for the GFCI unplug, just let
the float down. Might want to put the pump in a
Rubbermaid with enough room for the float to move,
while you shovel water into the 18 gallon Rubbermaid.
