Triton T80 Easi-Fit Shower Cutting out with sink tap on ;-(

It's just an empty tank, but the outlet comes from a pipe that goes to the top. It'll drain out if you can disconnect the solenoid valve on the inlet, or some have a safety valve for excess pressure at the bottom, that might be removeable.

Thanks. Taken the old Triton 8.5Kw shower off and have it sitting around the garage trying to get the water of it. In the diagram attached from the manual, the inlet is (1) and the shower hose connection is (15) at the bottom.

Can get some water out with a big shake, but not much. If there is anything on the diagram I could tinker with willing to give it a go. Else I assume I can pack it away with the water in it, if its not going to corrode or mess with anything internally?

What's 11 in the diagram? It looks like it might be the pressure safety valve I referred to, and looks like it can be dismantled.

11 is stabilizing value

Could it be 15- Pressure Relief Device?

PRV is on the outlet pipe, so removing that won't help.
Removing the stabilising valve (whatever that is) should drain the water out of the tank.
