Hi James, This may sound a bit odd but... if you really want to make sure all of the water is out of the unit just remove the drain hose and use a shop vac to draw out all the residual water. Then just place about 1 to 1.5 cups of vegetable oil in the sump for the winter. I do not recommend anti-freeze due to the associated health reasons of same. Then next season remove the drain hose and draw out the vegetable oil before returning it to regular service. This works well for resorts in cold climates. The vegetable oil can over several seasons fatten up or harden pump seals but is no more harmful than the anti-freeze on the seals.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
