    My sump/fuge is in the basement. I'm currently running the water into my storm sump. It's 2 feet from my fuge. If I start killing grass I'll need to run a hose across the basement into the sump that dumps into the sewer.

    Sweet, make sure you put in a drain close to your system.
    Or you can just build your house around the tank!!!

    Water Changes

    I take my garden hose and make sure its full of water. Then stick one end in the sump. Unhook the other end from the spigot and drain the water into the street. Works every time.
