LOL...I WAS WAITING FOR THIS QUESTION TO COME ALONG!!
Actually, Ive already been shopping and got the go ahead from the better half. Im just sockin it away so I can pay cash for it..Im also planning on building my own stand for it...LFS wants $1200 ducks for it!!! I figure around $300 out the door for a nice one!
Water changes are done via the container next to the sump...I turn on the RODI valve to the brute which has its own heater, pump for stirring, and airstone. When the can is full I mix the salt and the next morning I do the WC. For draining..I have a line coming off the return (you can see the p-trap up near the ceiling in the one pic) that drains into my main line for the house. I just open the drain valve while watching the sump level. When it drains out 4" I shut off the valve and then plug in my WC pump in the brute can and fill the sump back up. Here is a pic I found...
