    An interesting video for those of us who live in the desert and are unfamiliar with basements, sump pumps, etc. Here in the desert, basements are rare and pumps even more rare. Thanks for all the good footage.

    Another great video. I've been doing this sort of thing at our house for 35 years and it's good fun to see you do them and talk to yourself as I do. We have a major ground water problem and although Zoeller is the best, most durable, to move enough water we've switched to Wayne 3/4 HP which pumps twice as much at a 1/2 HP Zoeller at 20 ft water column. If I were a contractor I'd use Zoeller though as it's more dependable. If one gets 2 years with a sump pump, it's fortunate.

      I just switched from an old 1/3 HP Liberty to a Wayne 3/4 HP. This thing practically teleports the water out of the sump and is very quiet too!
      It did get overwhelmed though by a 5 inch rainstorm (2 inches earlier in the day), but it was actually a gripper for our rough-in plumbing popped out and was geysering water from the overloaded sewer system. The basement filled up 4 ft, but once the sewer system stopped, this pump drained our 700 sq ft basement in about 2 hours.

      @@Omnip073n77 OMG that sounds terrible. I have a test plug in one of our cleanouts too and I never want to consider that possibility. This Spring I am going to clean up the pipe threads with a rotary brush and screw in a solid plug. The Wayne and Zoeller pumps are solid and dependable. There are others but I really trust those two brands. Liberty and others are supposedly great too but I've never used them and the specifications of Wayne pumps are tops. I can pump over 140 GPM with three 3/4 hp Wayne sump pumps and yet that is just barely enough. These storms lately have been intense and difficult.

    Hello Steve, can I ask why you didn't install a new check valve? Not knowing old the original one is, wouldn't it make sense to replace it for the homeowners' piece of mind?
    I mean, the part is $14 at the big box stores. I'm sure you could had charged $30-$55 for the part/install and the customer would have been fine.

    Hello. I have a finished basement. When it rains the water in the sump pump well fills up very rapidly. My sump Pump runs a lot, even when it is not raining hard. I am always worried that it will burn out. When it does burn out, My luck it will burn out on a Sunday night or at night when every store is closed for the day.I want to replace the sump pump and go with a Hydromatic or a Zoeller. Which brand pumps do You prefer? Once I install a good quality pump in, I plan on using the old pump as a back up. Thank You very much.

      how about the basin, Lid and pump? all of it.
      Can you do it without busting out the floor?
      It has a 4" inlet. From what I gather the basins are ridged and have no give to slide past the inlet pipe. so you would have to rock it away from the inlet pipe into position, or cut it short and glue past the rubber gasket when its in place. what should I do? What would you do, and yes I'd dry fit the new basin and line it up. I don't want to deal with busting up the concrete and then patching the mess when I'm done. But lining up the hole to the pipe and welding the pipe back together with PVC glue with an extension into a couple behind where you can't see has its problems too. I'm sure either way would work.
      But what one works better?

  • @neilbrookins8428
    @neilbrookins8428 9 лет назад +13

    Why didn't you install a new water alarm? You can get one at Home Depot for $9.97 so its not expensive at all. I have an alarm on my sump pit with the sensor just above the "on" level of the pump. That way, when the pump fails I get an alarm right away -- long before the water rises to the floor level. It gives me enough advance warning that I can repair the pump before the water reaches the floor level.

      @@trangofast9692 - actually if you go to the Zoeller's classroom videos on youtube, they explain in one of their on-campus classes that best practice is to use a larger pit so that the pump cycles less often, but pumps more water per cycle, to increase life expectancy. This is accomplished by tying the built-in float permanently in the "on" position and then using a separate on/off float switch to turn on and off the pump (or purchase a pump with no built-in float). You plug the pump into the on/off switch power cord, then that power cord into the wall receptacle. This way you could also keep the pump completely submerged under water at all times, which also increases life expectancy even more.
      I do agree with you that even if you don't take these extra steps, the Zoeller will still last a super long time.

You can have one monitored by an alarm company or just a local one that beeps for about $20. That float may have been faulty. It may be worth getting pumps with internal floats. People really should maintain their pits annually.

      Rodj I had a Zoeller M53 last a little over 12 years in an enclosed basement. The pump came on during the slightest sprinkle of rain and seemed to cycle about every 30 to 60 seconds until the rain stopped. When it finally gave out, I came into the basement to find the pump smoking from the switch being stuck in the on position. I ended up replacing the entire pump, but was initially able to get away with only replacing the switch until I scraped together a couple of bucks to get the new pump.

    • @Rodj12341
      @Rodj12341 8 лет назад

      I made a mistake when I posted this comment, the pump was actually 16 years old when I posted this. No pump should not die out under 15 years. New Zoeller pumps will give out in under a year now. The only Zoeller pump I would even SLIGHTLY look at is the M63 since it has a better switch in it. And I found out that if the diaphragm does turn off at a lower level than normal and sucks in air, you simply just push in on the diaphragm about 10 times and it is back to normal.

      If that well was running on DC current, that switch would have become victim of electrolysis.

    Why not leave the old pump with the homeowner as a backup pump?

    Abasement with that water problem should have a second pump for backup.

    After a lot of research, I decided not to buy a Zoeller pump for this very reason, they put crap switches in them and they are well aware of it.

      Pro1er Actually, they have all new switches. Tested up to 3 million times. Even upped their warranty by two years because of it. Five year warranty on them. I researched them for about five hours straight. About eight out of 10 plumbers recommend zoeller. There are many good pumps though. And I don’t care how good are pump is. If you let them go long enough, all of them will burn out eventually. It’s Recommended you change the sump pump every five years regardless. Many say that Wayne is the best. My Wayne switch went bad in less than two years. Put 4 inches of water in my basement. I think it’s luck of the draw really. Anything with a switch will not last.

    18:44 "I guess they got lucky on this one" How did they get lucky? They had a flood and they had to change out the pump. That's pretty much worst case scenario. Also you're a professional, you must know that by code your client is supposed to have an alarm with the sump yet you failed to notice or install one for them? I wonder why? Maybe it's good for business and call backs...

    so you telling me that most of the houses over there on the East Coast needs a pump because the water comes into their basements something's wrong with that scenario

      PVC glue from any hardware store. Her ac outlet should be a ground fault protected outlet, but because she didn't Steve used a portable one. It has 3 outlet sockets.

    Silt has nothing to do with it, it’s the switch which is at the top of the pump. The pump is good, switch is bad

    That noise was water rushing back into the pump.... WHERE IS THE CHECK VALVE?!!!!

    • @bouncingsoul777
      @bouncingsoul777 8 лет назад

      unitedairforcepilot He measured the check valve at about 53 inches up the discharge pipe, so it was there, just a little further away than it probably should be. In fact, the entire design didn't look like a good idea. The man in the video mentioned that the sump pump had a pretty long haul to get the water to the end of the discharge pipe and I would have to agree.
