In Reply to: OT: More on Sump Pump posted by Casey in Ky on March 23, 2009 at 19:34:44:
Thanks for the replys. I do have a check valve connected between the pump and discharge line. I did the math and at 10 second run time, every 5 minutes, at a 5 foot head(which is about where its at right now, will be about 10 ft head when I get the permanent discharge line in) the pump is rated for 1740 gallons per hour, so if I figured right that's about 58 gallons per hour. Thats a lot of water.
The house was built on slope and I have neighbors on both sides of me(up hill and down hill). Apparently whoever built the basement was an idiot as the lowest corner(where I had water standing) is also one of the uphill corners of the basement. The neighboe below me has dug out into the hill(right next to my property line) and actually tore into the drain pipe coming from underneath my foundation. It's always had a small streamof water, but I'm assuming the slope of the drain wasn't right. I've fished/augered it out, got a lot of mud and gunk, but still nowhere near 50 gallons an hour of water. Pretty standard around here to have drain tile under basements, if you'r lucky enough to have somewhere for it to drain to.
What's wierd is before I started digging, I had an inch of water in the corner where I put my pit. I stared digging Saturday evening,got almost finish with the pit and called it a night. Sunday morning, the pit was full of water, up to just about the top of the concrete floor, but not overflowing...that's what has me puzzled. Man I'm long winded this morning...

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
