So i am looking for suggestions on how to put a drain in so that water does not collect in the tank compartment ever again. Is this ok to do or will it in some way compromise the integrity of anything by putting a drain in?? any ideas, and has anyone done this???? Thanks again guys, this forum is filled with knowledge.
This PVC is factory.....I removed it when I installed my new tank. There is room for water to flow underneath. The pvc I am presuming was put in place to keep the foam from blocking the drainage when it was applied. If you don't foam the new tank in, pvc is not needed.
