please, please I hope you have taken out that blue PEX or whatever at the top. no wonder it's draining so slow and you'll burn out your pump in no time.

its called a check valve and you need to move it closer to the pump.

Great video thanks for showing it.

why would you go 1" and a half into pex? thats stupid do you reliaze how much you are restricting your flow? Finish the job right and run pvc all the way out. Otherwise during a flood the pex will restric water flow and the pump wont be able to keep up. Also that is probaly like a 1500-2000 gph with your piping set uo you are reducing it to about 800-1100 gph.

funny video, I appreciate the info. Too bad about the footer! Hope the sump is holdin up. We get ours installed at the end of the month, but we aren't brave enough to do it ourselves! :)

@allistairave I think I probably should put on the video "I've never installed a sump pump before." But it seems to continue to work like a charm. Some day I might make a trench down the side of that wall so that I can get more water to drain into the crock. But It's definitely better than it was.
You should try doing it yourself. The worst that could happen is that you have to get a professional to come in and finish the job :)

I've heard that before. I heard it will shorten the life of my pump. If it dies in the next year I'll change the pipe. Otherwise, I probably will just buy another $200 pump. They really don't cost that much.

It could be that it's going through that smaller hose... that's causing the "extra stress." It still is working great. My basement is dryer than any other time in the last 7 years of living here.
This might not be a "professional" job. But it's definitely doing the trick.

Excellent points! We'll see how it lasts.
