once you here the pump start to slurp like that SHUT IT OFF!! it will burn up and over heat and possibly catch fire so set your float for that pump to cycle on off with that water height that way once it gets so high the pump kicks on and then when it gets lower that pump shuts off. you will be sorry if you do not do this.

I actually understood the "dirty but clean hole" thing.

Great video! Explains everything in detail. Thanks!

Glad I live on a hill with a solid-clay foundation...

just curious... once installed, that thing sounds pretty loud. If we have a bedroom in the basement, but are trying to install a sump pump in one corner, would this noise be at that level? Could we install some cabinetry or something around it to dampen the noise? Is the thing constantly running and making that noise or is does it only turn on and pump water when it's activated, say by water reaching a certain level? Thanks for answering my questions. :)

So how do you figure out what hp of pump you need to get for your house?
fkreller1 6 months ago
@fkreller1 Thats a tough one. First you would need to know how much water is entering per hour and then install a pump that can handle twice that. About a 1 to 3 hp pump should be fine

i have installed 3 sump pumps with basins like liners looks way better

@homesnakegabe Looks better yes, but as long as you don't have a loose dirt or sand and have a lot of flow then yes a liner is nice to have. The one shown in the video has a ton of flow when the water table gets to high.
