I was here this morning and all of a sudden my alarm went off. I have a 10" bell with a transformer, micro switch and float in my sump pump hole.
Carol was washing clothes and the hole was full to the top. Pump was running but I shut all down and went to buy a new pump, back flow valve, fittings and water line. Got a stainless 1/2 horse this time.
I took near 35 gallons out of the hole with a pan and buckets. Heck of a time plumbing it since the outlet was different.
Carol had to make two trips to Home Depot for a right fitting, they gave her the wrong one first, she does not understand a word I say.
I wanted the fitting when I bought the pump but the guy said it is included---NOT!
But now I can shoot the breeze again.
I hate plastic water line. Can't move a thing in a second.
