If the sump pump runs frequently but otherwise normally, every minute or so, you may be able to improve its operation by deepening the sump pit so that at each pump cycle the pump runs longer, removing more water, but running a bit less often - which is easier on the pump and its ...
However, if the switch is On, the application will send an email, disable wake up input, and set the timer to wake up in 60 minutes. This will avoid email bombardment. If the sump pump gets fixed by the time the board wakes up, then everything continues as if nothing happened, and ...
If the sump pump piping moves each time the sump pump cycles on/off the piping may become abraded, cracked, and then leaky. A leak in sump pump piping will spray water like mad when the pump runs and of course it'll be unable to keep water out of your building. The thin-walled fl...
In days past, we used to recommend anywhere from 5 to 10 times total tank water volume per hour but those kinds of flow rates really are just not required to achieve maximum filtration. Slower flow also runs quieter, results in less evaporation, and allows you to use a much smaller pump...
However, inside the basement, sometimes suspended on a few straps from the ceiling or in vertical runs, a flexible pipe might easily separate at connections – every time the house sump pump motor is activated, water pressure puts significant stress on such assemblies. ...
An 8000-watt generator, for example, can hold around 7 gallons (26.5 L) of fuel and can run a sump pump continuously for up to 8 hours on a full tank. Note that not every generator is the same size and not every generator runs on the same type of fuel. Some generators have enough...
