Recently bought a sludge judge. This one doesn’t have the inner rope that you pull and the ball seals the bottom. Basically just has a plastic piece on the bottom that allows liquid and sludge in when pushed against the bottom of the tank. But every time I go to pull it out of the tank I’m losing about 12” of liquid. Anybody else dealt with this? Is there any tips or tricks to seal it better? Kind of annoyed cause this thing cost $200
