Having pumped thousands of gallons of contaminated water over the years I've become a master at rebuilding them. The seperate curcuit is a good idea. A shop vac and a 55 gallon drum work well in a pinch.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-25369672290605903052009-07-04T01:01:48.661-04:002009-07-04T01:01:48.661-04:00MrMaCrum:

This works if you have city water, and the pressure in the system will run a pump to pump out the water during a power failure, or if the electric sump pump fails. <br /><br />We like ours. Perhaps, if you can use it in your location, it would give you peace of mind.<br /><br />PipeTobaccoPipeTobaccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746884792061867611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-79278010827491300022009-07-03T16:34:06.913-04:002009-07-03T16:34:06.913-04:00We've had more than normal amounts of rain her...We've had more than normal amounts of rain here this year too. But in Bend Or. we don't have basements so we don't have to deal with flooding. I send sympathy your way. I know you'd rather have a new sump pump, but all I can afford to send is sympathy.<br />Hope you dry out soon.Linda McGearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018571975106229102noreply@blogger.com
