Personally though I have to agree, could not a larger collection cup have been fabricated that would not have to be emptied twice per day?

Or at least, have a fail safe if absolutely must drain the skimmate collection straight to sewer. He had other fail safes, ie. he mentioned the halides had been shutdown due to a high temp alarm, so maybe something like, have the skimmer feed pumps shutdown due to a low level alarm in the sump.
