Finally, Happily Splashing away.

Filled tub with water and checked things out. Success, no leaks!

I basically just bypassed the diverter and connected the hose from the pump to a drain hose. Have to make sure the other end of the hose stays up otherwise it's instant gravity drain!

Three Flair ranges complete my collection of vintage appliances. Currently there's no chance of it growing because I have no room. We were planning to move and even had a new house all picked out and ready to sign. But for some reason I stepped back. Good thing I did otherwise I'd be one of...
