What is the best way to remove water from a tuba?

[vd8m9]

I play on a Miraphone (not sure what model) and I can never seem to remove the water efficiently. What I default to is to just press the spit valve and occasionally a few drops come out, but the gurgly sound is still in the 4th valve. I don't know any way to remove the water, unless I disassemble all the slides and turn the tuba around like 50 times (so it's super inefficient). So I'm wondering... are there any good ways to remove water from all Tubas in general?

btw I'm a pretty newbie player. I understand if this is a dumb question.

I suppose if the 2341 is like my slightly older 1240, there's a low spot in the upper part of the 1st valve loop, near where it's attached to the valve. For me, that was the most annoying water trap. I would pull the slide out and empty it, then rotate the tuba all the way around, pull the slide out and empty it again. There must be a better way, as these are very popular tubas and I can't imagine so many people would put up with that.

Is that why they call it the "King Spin"? I have installed two additional spit valves on my Olds and I still have to do the "King Spin".

One tip, though not always practical, is to not invert the horn onto its bell. On rotarys in particular, its pretty much a straight shot from lead pipe to water key. Inverting the tuba sends the water "willy nilly" to who knows where. Knowing the routing of your tuba is valuable as just one "tilt & flip" in the right direction will get it making an easy exit.

I've noticed here is chilly Minnesota, that even a horn that has been drained and then simply leaned against the chair will accumulate an annoying amount of water simply by condensation of the warm air inside against the cooling tubes.

As much as I love piston tubas, the water route on them is my one "pet peeve."
But I have figured out how to do the "dance" with them.
