Thanks for the overview. I'm doing this now and it's good to see it done first. The quiet check valve was a great addition to keep down the clunk sounds.
I had no idea you could change the flote . I just had bout 5 in water in basement. I just had to wiggle the flote I'm guessing it's lil worn changing it looks ez enough thanks
Hi There Chris, currently in late June of 2024, I had 5 sump pumps running with three 1 h.p. sump pumps. and two .5 h.p. sump pumps. I find that adjusting the sump pump is the answer for the most part. i just recently turned off one of the.5 h.p.. I was only able to restart that one power fist sump pump by lifting up on the sump hose. It's a matter of the angle of the floate as well. Generally, we just do it in the spring. We are beside a lake called Morin Lake in SK Canada. But this year even into summer, it is cool with lots of rain and we at a distance of 100 yards from the lake still have our water table affected by the high lake Level. I am Brian Fisher of Victoire, SK. good luck with these sump pumps. I love them though.
I noticed inside the pit under the cover you have two open pipes coming into the pit. Is the wider one for the toilet and the other for the sink? The reason I ask is I'm just trying to ascertain if something other than my add-on bathroom would be going into that pit as my float is stuck and I want to unplug it for a few days until I can get a buddy out here to help me. I have a completely separate sump pump and pit for groundwater and another injector pump and pit for my washer. My concern which doesn't really add up is my PVC pipe from my AC goes into a ground drain on the other side of the basement and I assume the water from there goes into either the flood control system or most likely through the floor to the ejector pit for the washer?
Unfortunately this pit was not at my own house, so I’m not exactly sure where the 2nd pipe coming into the pit is from. I know one was from the basement bathroom draining into the pit, but I’m not sure of the 2nd.
can anyone explain me why the plugs of switch needs to be one in top of the other one, i cant find any diagrams how that works inside the float switch really I cant find a good explanation, thanks!!

We bought new sump pump but still we need to shake the pipe then its works.Can you tell me what is the problem?
Maybe the float is stuck against the edge of the sump

Good video.
Your narration is good but would of liked to see what your hands are doing
Thanks. I would have liked to have gotten the camera closer, unfortunately it was a tight space and you don’t want to drop a camera in that pit. 😂
