Sump Pump Workout

Extraordinary heavy rains has caused my sump pump to work overtime. Thank you to my Coleman Vantage 5000 generator for starting on 3 pulls after setting for 15 years.

Sump pumps used to scare me to death when I was little.

@animebsd Agreed, these pumps are garbage! the pump housing is made of plastic, which means he motor can not transfer heat outside the pump when it is getting stressed! this design is very flawed and if the pump is put under enough stress and gets hot enough, it would hit the thermal safety cut-off and flood the basement. not to many people take stuff like this into consideration when buying there pump.

@CVRealMan looks to be a flotech pump

@Ruthie178 why is that?

what kind of pump is that, also you shouldn't have that kind of switch on it beacuse they are very prone to getting stuck (you should have something like a pressure switch
