Why not just syphon the water etc out?


That's what I did last year (gets emptied at the end of the season) but
he wants (don't know why he doesn't empty the bleeping thing) a tap
fitted, This is just a bit of a thought/research to figure out if it
is easy enough to do, might yet tell him "no daddy can't do that". Son
has special needs so I tend to indulge him in his gardening (but if it
is expensive/awkward to do shall revert to the "no" option).


Its easy to do, plumbers merchants will sell the kit, but any cold water
tank connecter would do the job (collars and rubber washers both sides)
should leave you with a standard screw thread to attach what ever you like
