I am wondering if anyone has ever found/installed some sort of drain cock/pet-cock on one of those Camco 40631 water filtration systems (the blue housing)? Specifically I am tired of trying to get the housing off in the fall and spring while it is full of either water, or pink, or even to replace the filter in it, without dumping liquid of some kind or other all over the cupboard.. My PO installed it in place of the original drinking water system under the kitchen sink, and it is a bear to get in and put. Have to tip it, no way around it. So I cover the floor of that space with Sham-Wow's to absorb the considerable spillage. It would be so much better to be able to drain the wee thing before having to remove it.
Can't be very big - have to be able to get the housing wrench over it.
If I can't find anything small and permanent, I am leaning toward something I can install, open to drain and then remove to unscrew and pull the housing off. Then reverse the process. My concern is how often could that take place before I end up with leaks.
Or replace it with something less unwieldy, (more wieldy  ?) It takes up the entire cupboard space it is in anyway, so some other system may be easier to deal with in the long run...
Thoughts? Inspiration?
