OR . . . What about a drain/lift bag . . . a bag made of sunscreen material
or a box made of porous material. Dump the mixer into the bag or box. Once
the excess water has drained out lift the bag or box above the form and open
the port at the bottom . . . You'd need a pump to get the drained water back
into the mixer for reuse, but it would be pretty easy to set up for a
stationary mixer. Either set the mixer up 4' in the air (loading issues) or
next to a pit in which the bag or box can be set. With a pit, a sump pump
can be used to get the water back into the mixer.
