| The guy that designed the motor and the where the filter is and drain plug must do his own.
Only one problem why didn't they make the bottom end a little larger so it would take all 5 quarts. What to do with a 1/2 quart dog doesn't like it and the cat doesn't know what to do with it. |

It lessens the chance you'll over tighten and strip the plug. |
