Friday's coffee...snow?

I bought this hose for draining.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EF0G8UM?dpID=410dhYHYb-L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_SL500_SR160%2C160_&refRID=AGHZX6Z7VNVPAPQ7T18Y&ref_=pd_lutyp_qpp_86_7_3.  I needed 3 so it cost me an arm and a leg.  They are made to last a liftime.  It's connection is 1" pipe thread which fits on the intake of my draining pump which is an external brush-less pump.  I bought it from Aquatic Ecosystems.  They know water pumps backwards and forwards.  (you need to ask for the guy who knows water pumps).  The Wayne pump is a good pump, but if I remember correctly it has hose threads which limit you to a 5/8" hose. My 1" slippery hose drains way faster than any garden hose.  The difference is dramatic.  And the Wayne pump was so loud I could hardly stand it.

Mug is right about water storage containers.  From what you have said you don't have room for water storage containers.  I have 2 250 gallon ones stacked one on top of the other.  WC is way faster filling them up and pumping to the tanks rather than using the faucet and a hose.  If you have water storage containers all you need a pump like I have for draining to use for filling and a bunch of plumbing to individual tanks each with it's own gate valve.

Our situations are different, indeed.  I could post or PM pics of how I do it, and you could post or PM pics of how you do it.  Shame we don't live closer.  If I could be there and see it with my own eyes I'm sure that I could figure out how you could change water fast.
