but I guess I could have ladled the water out if I were smart enough to
cut not far above the water level.
The bottom of my heater was about a foot or so below grade. I hooked a
hose to it and drained most of the water to the yard. The plumbers had
a very small pump they hooked up and pumped out maybe the last 10 to 20
A pump. Never thought of that.
None of this applies ehre but years ago I bought a pump that runs off an
electric drill -- figured it might come in handy sometime -- and when my
sewer backed up I tried to use it to pump out the totally full laundry
sink through a fairly short hose and then to a longer hose 25 feet to
the sump. IIRC, ti didnt' work. Maybe I coudln't get it started.
Ended up waiting until the stream receded and let the sink drain via
it's own drain pipe.
% of the water.
I have a sump pump about the size if a galon of milk jug and thought
about putting a pan under the tank drain and doing it that way. But
after looking it over , the plastic pans I have would not fit.
