Correct Answer: Option C — The water may be removed through the water drain valve or through the sludge ports during the sludge discharge cycle.
Accumulated water and separated sludge within a self-cleaning purifier bowl are periodically purged and expelled through the peripheral sludge ports during the automated discharge cycle. Alternatively, manual drainage is conducted via dedicated drain valves when the unit is fully secured.
