Hello,

EI methods demand large H2O changes. This puts demands on water use. Automation works for some (and is a great idea) but not for others (feasibility, mechanically impaired, etc).

Python is a long term stand by, but when doing python on larger tanks that is excatly what you are doing, standing by, waiting, and wasting water during the drain.

Are there time/water saving methods that fall somewhere between automation and python? For example, I was thinking (not very cleverly) that a good hobby pump might expedite draining and not waste water. But then at completion of 50% drain, getting remaing water out of the hose leading to sink would be a pain. Any practices from experience?

Thanks,
