Seems kinda slow to me.

@NOLIMIT69NOLIMIT2000 yes agree, however it does aways keep up even when heavy rains occur.

[NOLIMIT69NOLIMIT2000]

@chatrkat That's a good thing. I do like the setup.

[chatrkat]

@NOLIMIT69NOLIMIT2000  thank you!

@chatrkat I'm sure, even before you mentioned how heavy it was, just by the look of it I could tell that thing was on the heavy side.

@Sharkie626 I was surprised the plastic failed like that. junk!  ...that big pump should blast a lot of water. I don't look forward the lifting that thing up the basement stairs tho!

[Sharkie626]

@chatrkat Oh yeah that one! That sounds like a really fun thing to try to do!

Oh yeah, one other comment on this video. I remember in your short one you had said this old backup pump was in for about 10 years. For a plastic-cased pump, that's actually pretty impressive time length! lol

@Sharkie626 see:  SWABY WASTE EJECTOR PUMP I want to drop that spare pump in a tall trash can full of water to see what the discharge looks like.

[Sharkie626]

@chatrkat I can't remember, what pump was that for again? heh

[chatrkat]

@Sharkie626 thanks for stopping back! I still need to to a demo of that 2" pump. maybe when the weather is warm I'll drag it outside and make a test.
