Abstract
A container assembly includes a container, a flow channel, and a suction assembly. The container defines a cavity configured to receive a fluid therein. The container includes an interior surface along the cavity and an exterior surface outside of the cavity. The interior surface defines a lower hole, and the exterior surface defines an upper hole that is disposed closer than the lower hole to a top of the container. The flow channel extends from the lower hole to the upper hole and is disposed within a thickness of one or more wall sections of the container. The suction assembly is attached to the lower hole and fluidly connected to the flow channel. The suction assembly includes a strainer disposed within the cavity of the container for suctioning the fluid from the container.
