Have you considered just using your pump to move the water to your grey tank? That would flush out your water lines and give your grey tank a little cleaning too. I would cut the pump off after about 30 minutes to let it cool down for 30 mins or so.

Looks like he is a one n dun poster so not likely we will hear from him. I do hope he comes back!!!

Good Idea but a couple PVC fittings will do the job along with a garden hose to get rid of the water.

Or a cap that's made to drain via a garden hose, black or clear, no sense reinventing the wheel. No PVC need if pumped into gray tank.

Sure that would work but that requires running the pump and taking lots of time to let it cool down or possibly damage it for too long of a use.

Filling and dumping 80 gallons of water Via pump to grey then drain with hose is a lot of messing around IMHO. The cost of the PVC fittings is minimal.

Simple modification of the drain hole and a garden hose can take away the water.

I would do a modification but not everyone's mechanically inclined. I have a rear kitchen that has two gray tanks, dump one and move for the second. That did not last long, for about $50 I joined the rear to the main dump up front. Most everyone that's seen that it and has the two gray wants to do the mod.
