love that solution - would not have thought about it. Even tho if  for some reason we can not do a run and are already set up, I hook the heater line to the drain line and let the bags all drain.

Great solution!  NxStage messed up and overloaded us with drain lines by sending us too many boxes.  We now have about 200 freaking drain lines.  They won't take back the unopened boxes either.  I could always have my son use them as jump ropes  :sarcasm;.
