Hi Bob, That "tip an inner bucket" idea sonds odd. But that is my ignorance showing. I do remember one "high wall tank" that seemed to work well consistantly. As long as it works, I'm happy to have your guidence. We have a hole in the floor, (covered) and I've been told a new vanity and shower door are being added to the job. hahaha
