Finally got the sump pump installed. Hardest part was digging the hole which was 22" of mostly rock with a little clay mixed in. No more leaky basement!

Amazing! The flex coupling is smart af, it’s so much easier when you want to take the pump out.
I’ve been slowly optimizing my set up. My next step is to create an interconnect to allow both pumps to discharge to one line (currently three pumps, two lines) so that I have redundancy should one of the lines freeze or clog. I have issues with iron ochre, so clogging is an issue for me. Hopefully freezing isn’t but who knows lol.
That’s actually the check valve. The store had those and more permanent PVC ones. I saw the rubber one and thought I would be really glad I went with that one whenever the pump has to be replaced.
Oh! Yeah, it will be handy for sure. My floats are finicky so I get a lot of air entrainment. Having the check below the water line lets me add a tiny hole for air to escape and correct that.
