RAIN, had 6" in a bucket this morning, then wind and fallen branches all over the yard.
Then the grandson woke me up, told me the alarm was going off in the basement. Sump pump, let me explain, no outside water to it, just laundry, tub and water softener. It has a box over it to keep moisture down and my dehumidifier sits on top to drain in the hole.
There is a hole for the float rod to poke out and if the box gets shifted it will not turn on.
I made a float system with a micro switch so if water gets high a 10" bell will ring but I can't hear it from my bedroom. Lee went down and unplugged the bell and left the water softener keep going.
Much water on the old carpet and floor. All it took was to shift the box so the switch rod came up.
My mistake not showing him and he can't tie his shoes without instruction.
I did not make the box or it would be higher, Looks like I need to buy wood.
