So I got the idea awhile back to run a 1/4" line outside of my house and hook it up to my skimmer to drain the collection cup. My goal was to let it gravity drain out to a drain I have in my side yard. I controlled it with a 110v solenoid. Well the idea kind of worked, but the line would get air in it and stop draining. So I scratched that idea.
Then came the idea for the pooper pumper 3000. I decided to use my masterflex dosing pump to pump the fish poo right out of the cup. It worked great. I have an eb8 in my shed that controls the pooper pumper.

Works pretty awesome. Drains my skimmer cup in like 1 minute, no need to ever remove my skimmer cup.
Also I added the solenoid that I stopped using to my ro/di reservoir. Now I can fill my reservoir by just pushing a button on my apex, and turn it off from my bed. Pretty sweet
