installing new basement sump pump

[duongz]

my current one is a very simple setup which has a float and a corrugated pipe at the bottom discharge
i want to change to one with no float/auto internal float, here are a couple of examples

im adding a check valve

but the discharge is at the top so the weep hole wouldnt be below the water line and auto start begins pretty low.

there are models like this, where the dischare is low and the auto starts begins at 5 inchs

does the low auto starting point and it being close to the auto off of these machines make it short cycle and not good for basement basins

I'm in MD as well.
I'm not a plumber.

I've had excellent results using a HydroCheck HC6000 "Hi-Lo Sump Pump Controller" with a manual pump. No floats to hang up and no mechanical switches to go bad. There are two sensors so you can set the on/off height where it works best for your situation and to reduce short cycling.

Kit with both items.

I've used the Liberty 230 pump in the past. The 233 will also work. Just don't use the float plug and tie it up out of the way.
Northeastern Supply is in MD and sells to the public. Don't know if they still sell Liberty pumps.

If you rely on a pump to keep your basement dry I would recommend that you get a name brand pump.
