The quick-installing ball valve 14 is preferably a manual valve, the opening degree is manually adjusted during the first work, when the valve is fully opened, the lift of the liquid discharge pump is reduced, and the smaller the opening degree is, the higher the lift of the liquid discharge pump is.
When the liquid level drops to the liquid level 10 of the lower liquid level sensor, the liquid discharge pump 15 stops working, the liquid discharge valve 12 is closed at the same time, and liquid discharge is stopped. Liquid discharge is started when the liquid level rises to the liquid level of the upper liquid level sensor 9.
