new basement tank plumbing

[Karsten]

Hello All,

I have recently set up a new tank in the basement. I have never had a grade level tank before.

I am wondering where other people drain their tanks water during a water change?

I have always drained my tanks into a bathtub.

Is the floor drain by the furnace a possibility?

Slowly pour a bucket of water down the drain and see if it drains. Thats where my system drain is plumbed to.

I ran a drain pipe from my display tank upstairs down to the floor drain in the basement, along with my water softener and furnace humidifier draining into the floor drain.

When I made my basement fish room I put three drains in the floor so that all areas of the room had ready access to drains. I flip a lever and the sump drains...another lever and my water storage drains.

Main drain is usually where the hot water tank is. I have my frag tank plumbed right to it for easy water change system and located my sump close to there for just incase my sump should overflow. Love it takes me 5 mins to do a water change. Just have to open 2 valves. Although I only change my water once every 2-3 months lol
