If any water is left in bath when you use discharge hose into shower drain just use a sink and bath unblocker to push the last few litres through hose.Play with the expectation of winning not the fear of failure. S.Clarke2

Search for "whale babyfoot pump" - a possible manual alternative?Bendy_House said:I didn't ask the obvious, Court - are you a DIYer to any degree?! Do you have a cordless electric drill? (Ideally cordless, tho' corded is fine)Jobbie-def-jobbed: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304577974794?Whatever length of hose required to connect to the bath's outlet spigot to get safely inside the shower tray, securely jubilee-clipped in place to the bath so no leaks. This wee pump fitted wherever it's most convenient along the way, again securely clipped so no leaks.For filling, put cap on the end of the pipe, or else just have it held upwards above the required bath water level. When bath is done, lower the hose end/remove cap, and allow it to drain under gravity as much as it can. Then attach cordless drill, and whirrrrr away.1
