Simply hang it from a branch with the valve dangling and you have a gravity fed mini water tank with the bite valve as a faucet, for cleaning etc. Stay well.....

I think it might even be a design problem because the way the tent pole widening section is designed creates a flat spot and looks like condensation is able to form droplets but they have no where to fall except down onto the tent body, subsequently, onto me. unlike your tent which had an angled pitch allowing drops to fall at least. gonna have to contact the company i think.. thanks again!
