I have no yellow flapper to drain my water from the Alde

From what I can see there is a yellow flapper used to drain water from the Alde.  There isn't one in my unit.  I opened all the valves - no water drainage.  How will I drain the water without this?

    Could you post a photo of your plumbing near the Alde?

    On the earlier Little Guy Tabs, there was no flapper valve. The drain valves in our Tabs are little white tee handled valves, one on the hot line and one on the cold, right on the floor near the Alde.

    You pull up on the tee handle to open the valve. It will lift about a quarter to a half inch.

    I found it to be a bit sticky to re-close these valves, so I disassembled them and lubed the o-rings on them with a dab of silicone grease.

    Chan, there must be a connection to a supply line to allow the Alde tank to fill and drain.  Different model Alde or just plumbed differently?  

    LHough, try opening a faucet or two at the same time.  There might be a bit of an air lock/ vacuum effect, and then move the tongue up and then down.  See if that gets it going.
