Dans les systèmes à vidange autonome, la circulation de l'eau dans les capteurs est aussi assurée par une pompe. Quand celle-ci s'arrête, l'air pénètre dans la batterie des capteurs par un tuyau d'évent ou y est refoulé par compresseur; l'eau du système s'écoule alors directement dans le réservoir de stockage. 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20%C3%A0%20vidange%20autonome
