• check valve or ?
  • Check valve will leak water that you won't want to soaking you ice in or aerating you box (and contents) with.
    • Shower sump, yes
      • If you can pump the frige drain to the shower drain pan. Then I'd do that, then you can deal with it in due course.
  • We just put the ice blocks in plastic containers
    • That works -- or use callon milk jugs and freeze water in them.
      • There will still be some condensation water even if the ice-melt is contained
        • That is what I did...
          • Same here. My boat has a large built-in icebox under a cockpit seat
  • How about....
  • I have a T below the galley sink drain that I pump the icebox through.
  • I have the drain hose connected to a hand pump
    • Similar setup - except I just pump it into a pot and dump in the sink. KISS
