How to Install a Replacement Sump Pump

Here's how to replace a sump pump. Installation is pretty easy. You will work with PVC, rubber couplings, and a check valve using channel locks and 6-in-1 screwdriver. I also explain some safety and efficiency principles. The video was recorded with the online capture, so it ran out at 10 minutes, but I was essentially finished. Just check your manual for any floater hight adjustments.

You should NEVER reach down into the sump without removing the power from the pump. You risk electrocution and instant death.

@Montani42 Very important point, thanks!

my sump pump died this week & I was not looking forward to hiring a plumber. After seeing your video, it looks pretty easy & I plan on completing this task this weekend. Thanks!!!!

Thank you for making an easy to follow, helpful, understandable solution to a $250 plumbers visit. I wish that I had some rubber gloves around before I started.

@64thDistrict Thanks for the feedback! I'm on the east coast and this very pump did me proud during hurricane Irene, but my video got record-breaking traffic =/ Glad it helped you!

Shouldn't you expose your ass crack slightly when doing plumbing work?

[Buzinky]

@JohnRLange You're right... maybe my next video i'll just do without pants all together
