Many thanks and a new sump pump
by
Dee W
A few months ago, I asked about sump pumps: http://www.hometalk.com/diy/repair/plumbing/q-sump-pumps-181956 Both KMS and Woodbridge gave suggestions along with advice. Well, life got in the way and we never got a new pump. Then Sandy was headed our direction so DH brought a spare pump from work and tucked it in alongside our reg. pump and back-up pump.
We never lost power and stayed dry, but those 3 pumps were working their hearts out. When the rains stopped, DH discovered our pump was no longer working when he removed the spare to return it to his work. Armed with the knowledge I gained here, we bought a higher HP pump and it is fantastic! It barely runs and the casing water is very low.
I tell you this to say "Thank-You" to everyone here on Hometalk. I have gotten advice, encouragement, ideas and support along with laughter and a sense of community. Quite an accomplishment considering many of us will never "meet."
Blessings of Peace and Joy to you and your families, Dee

Hi I have ? Maybe you can help me with. I have a sump pump in my basement. Currently there is a metal plate covering the pit where the sump pump is. I would like to know if there is something I can purchase to cover the pit rather then using the ugly metal sheet thanks Jules
