        If it is built correctly the Bong gets drained absolutely completely
~ no mess at all.

The small hose at the bottom determines the amount of draining that
gets accomplished.

If you have it pushed down far enough into the expansion tank you can
drain the whole

tank ~ but of course you really don't want to do that.
