For anyone needing to test their new ballast in the driveway, here is what my fake-a-lake looks like. Works pretty good. Don't completely fill the bags as the trailer may not be rated for the extra weight. Cam.

Hmmm...guess you could use that on the toilet, too.

Neat idea! I'm stuck with all the rain, was actually thinking of something like that.

That only gets the ballast milk out!! Cam.
 
You might be able to do a smaller version of mine over each inlet, one at a time. I also debated threading the inside slightly, enough to allow a pipe fitting to thread in, then with a hose over the pipe fitting into a constantly filled bucket or garden hose. Mine is like something bugs bunny would shoot with a bow. Cam.
 
My wife used to have one, but now I use it to bleed brakes. cam.
