5. Ok. Using the internets, one cubic foot is about 7.5 gallons.

20 feet by 60 feet by about .1 feet (little over an inch) = 120 cubic feet (of water to be removed)

120 cubic feet divided by 7.5 gallons = 1 gallon would remove 16 feet of water (like 4 ft by 4 ft by .1 ft)

So a four gallon bucket would remove 64.

So it would only take 2 buckets?

I give up plumber is here.
