Draining skimmer cup. My skimmer drain plug is below the top of my sump, so I used to have to hold a cup inside my sump under the plug to let out the junk or pull off the collection cup, which alot of time made a mess or I spilled the junk back into the sump. I put an air line in the bottom of the collection cup and used a clothes pin to hold it in place. I draped the air line up over the top of the sump and down to a bucket on the floor. Below the level of the cup and outside the sump (close to the top of the bucket) I put a Tee and on the one side of the Tee I plugged in a syringe. Now when I drain my collection cup all I have to do is draw back on the syringe and it begins a syphon which drains the cup.
