So will that drain remove water every time the tank shuts off or is the level shown already at shut off level? Got a p-trap on that drain somewhere?

Nice looking tank.

Its just a fail safe now for power outages, With the freshwater system it was a constant drip waterchange to that level. It definately has a P trap
