It works by siphon and the siphon does not start until the water height/pressure is near the top of the container. You can see the 1/4" tube with the blue valve on it near the middle of the container. The end of the tube is a few inches off the bottom so it leaves the thick sludgy stuff that settled in the container. I rather do this than risk the 1/4" drain getting plugged.
The tube from the skimmer cup to the container has to be cleaned while the tube from the container to house sewage is perfectly clear.

if you are replacing your evaporative water this way (replacing fresh with salt water) how do you prevent hypersalinity?
