Hi,

I have a system with a sump which sits on the ground & there isn't any way
to raise it up - my problem is cleaning out debris/waste from the sump as I
can't get a siphon working. What way do you guys clean out the chambers in
your sumps?

tia, Sky.

During water changes, I pump the water out of the sump, then mop
up/clean with a sponge and bucket.
