I have some exciting news to report! I called rotorooter and had them come out this afternoon. They snaked the gutter line going to the creek and also the sump discharge line that connects to the gutter line. Plugged my sump back in and now it pumps out the water in a hurry! WOW what a...

So if I'm calculating correctly, my inflow rate is 3.8 gpm. My pumped rate would be 7.6 gpm or maybe a little more? My total elevation head which I previously thought was 9-10ft, should be that + 40ft since it runs horizontally about 40ft before the pipe drops down at the downspout line...

So I wanted to calculate how much water was coming into the pit but I had the levelguard switch turn on right above the Sump pit inlet. I decided to pump all of the water out to get the pit water lower than the inlet. The pump had a hard time getting the water level down so I turned on the 1/3...

You are correct. I had a Wayne 1hp pump right before the zoeller. The wayne pump failed and I noticed that they were identical to the ridgid pump with just a different sticker. At least with home depot it is easier to return if it fails. So which brand would you recommend? My neighbor...

Sorry I did not see this message. I did not calculate the pump discharge flow rate with the levelguard. I will check it tonight and report back. Thank you!

Ah yes.. I guess I'm trying to figure out if my pump is set up correctly. What I did not mention in my original post was that before I got the 1hp ridgid, I tried a 1/2 hp zoeller. However after about 1 month of use I got a water sensor alert and found the water way above the trigger point of...

The pumped water goes out to a storm water creek in front of the house. I will check the pipe at the end of the creek tomorrow morning to see if I see the sump water coming out. The last time I checked I did see the water come out every time the pump was on. I'm also wondering about this...

The elevation difference form the low water level to the point of discharge (gravity) would be around 9-10ft max. The discharge pipe goes up about 9-10ft to the ceiling of the basement, then runs horizontally about 40 ft and exits the side of the house and connects (at an angle down) to my...

I have a single sump pit with a 1hp ridgid pump and liberty water backup pump installed. The ridgid pump is plugged into a PumpSpy monitoring outlet that records when the pump turns on and for how long. When I first installed the pump it would cycle on every 6-7 minutes and run for about 50-60...
