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!

    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.
