Any clever ideas for cleaning overflows.

the tanks been up for almost 2 years now. I've tried to clean out the overflow before and it's always been a PIA. It's due again.

Just curious if you folks have any great ideas to make this easier?

I use a python set up to get all crud from the bottom. Hooks to spigot and starts strong siphon.

I use my shop vac. I got the car kit from HD that has the smaller hose.

Works like a charm.

Mine is small and removable if need be.

Python hose, done weekly or twice a month to prevent buildup of detritus. Overflow with durso piping = detritus buildup on the bottom of the overflow. Crud sucked out weekly is literally black and brown.

I will give the shop vac a shot

Awesome idea Greenhead. I borrowed my buddy's shop vac and was able to have plenty of success. You da man!:celeb1:
