While I'm working on our waterpump, I want to replace the drain cock at the
water tank. Ours is copper and corroded, it will only turn halfway with
robogrips. I am assuming it should turn straight with the hose to drain?
Our butts up against the tank, and is digging in the plastic. Can I just
drain by turning on faucets into our holding tank? This is assuming I get
the pump situation worked out.
Our water pump is an aftermarket shurflo...is there a good one at Camping
World I should use?
Good news, I thought our sending unit was bad (because I assumed the tank
was empty, it's halfway full!), but it is monitoring correctly.

If the sure flo works OK I would leave it alone. You can empty the tank as you describe . After you empty it I would remove the frozen drain valve and replace it with a ball valve. They can be bought at Home Depot or a hardware store.

The water goes through the filter BEFORE the pump, correct?
