Tom, I watched this video to the end. Why I don't know, I'll never be replacing a pump but, I want to say I think there is a special place in heaven waiting for you. It seems you do a lot to help out your church. (I remember past videos where you are working at the church) Have a great rest of your Sunday. TFS
Thanks Donna. I'll get back to my regular style videos next week. Sometimes videos like this tend to be more useful to more people. I repaired my clothes dryer in a video and I have 350,000 views so I never know...
I thought about that...However I have too many other projects so I left the old pump in the Alley for another alley picker to have. I hope you are doing well Mark.
I had a sump pump in the a house I owned. More than once the float switch would fail and the basement would flood. I got smart a installed not one but two sump pumps with the second one with the float set higher. My rational being if the first one failed the second one would take over. It looked great. I tested it out and it worked great. I came home a few months later to a flooded basement. The system failed. Do you know why? I had plunged them into the same receptacle and the fuse had blown. The were both on the same circuit. I changed to two circuits and all went fine after that. hope this helps someone.
My basement has an ejector pump because the main sewer pipe exits the house about four feet above the basement floor. I’m a little confused why the pump in your church is needed since its output goes back into the floor. Stronger flow out to city sewer?
A big thank you Tom for all the projects you tackle at the church! You are greatly appreciated.

Exactly! The flow to the sewer is weak and this seems to help a lot.
