Hello, I have a Shellback Torpedo 15. Recently, when it rains, the water comes up through the basement floor drain. The sump pump will not turn on, I have to physically go back to where it is and hit the side of it. When I do this, it will start up and drain the water and then turn off by itself. And it will never turn back on until more water starts coming up through the floor drain, and I have to hit it again and the process repeats. Is there anything I can do to fix this myself? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
Great video, now why didnt you just replace the shellback pump ? And where does this water come from is this the storm drain ?
Nice and easy to change now
