That backup ups won't last long in a power outage.

Excellent!

Nice setup

Your sump pumps have gaming PCs?

Can we get an update on this? Have you done any upgrades? With all the new power stations out are you still using the UPS units? Love this video, always looking for others.

I absolutely love your design , for how long the UPS will power each pump ?

This is overkill and I freaking love it 😂

This man has been hurt before. #neveragain Really though this is amazing. You thought of everything.

Outstanding preparation

This is a true work of art! I wish I had your knowledge and skills.

Now you need to install a water powered backup for third back up !!!

Any chance you are an engineer ???? WOW, nice job. That setup belongs in the sump pump hall of fame !!!

Can you do this for me lol

Great setup. If a water line busted in the basement, could water get into the sump pit with the sealed lid? If so, do the sump pumps have a flow rate greater than the flow rate of your water supply?

All it's missing are some coy fish. 🤪

No water overflow sensor connected to texting alarm ?

That is seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Great ideas, and I love how neat and clean everything is!

What kind of fittings are you using to pass seal the discharge pipes to the cover? What about the grommet for the cords?

Very cool. best example I've seen and most redundant system yet.

Spectacular! A great addition would be a water sensor attached to your alarm system and put the sensor inside the pit above the normal water line. Then in the event one or both pumps dont work, you will get a water sensor alert to your phone or alarm system

It's like a gaming sump pit with RGB.

Please make more videos of things you’ve built around your house!! This is amazing!!

Whats the size of those UPSs and how long do you think they would run the pump?

We are not worthy!

You ever sit in there with a beer during heavy rain and just admire this work?

Genius!!! Did you install this system?

Finally a kindred spirit! My sump pit is 48" deep and 24" across. Different than your's, mine was built to be air-tight because I have an air-tight home built to the passiv-haus standard. My cap is also bolted on , but doesn't have any penetrations. Aside from the 2 pipes that dump water collected into the sump, the 2" pipe coming out goes through the sidewall, under the slab, then up and out. Because the vessel itself is air-tight, we needed to supply make-up air to avoid vapor locking. There's a 4" pipe that goes under the slab, then up outside the building. (We had considered extending that under the siding, up to the roof, in the event that we needed radon remediation, but ultimately chose not to. Finally, there's a 1" (maybe 1 1/2") pipe that comes from the sump, up through the slab through which we feed required wiring. We have only a single 1/2 HP Zoeller M95 pump in the pit. Sensitive to the fact that one of the common points for failure is the switch, we have strapped the float in the on position, and installed an HC6000-PRO to control the pump. As a fully electronic item, UL considers the HC6000 capable of 1,000,000 cycles or more. Also, to reduce pump start-up frequency (the hardest part on the pump) we set the sensors 12" apart, which equates to 24 gallons, rather than the 13 gallons the original float would have provided with 6.5" from start to stop.. The HC6000-pro generates statistics about run time, fill time (ie time between runs), total number of cycles as well as performing weekly self tests. Faults are both displayed an accompanied by an audible alarm. Also within the pit about 8" above the start we have a float sensor, which is tied into our central alarm system, sounding both in the house, as well as alerting our monitoring service. The circuit for the sump pump, along with a few other critical circuits, are on a resiliency panel managed by our solar panel system, which includes 10KW of battery backup for critical systems. Similar to you, for back--up I keep the 4 year old 1/3 HP Pro-Flo pump I proactively removed and cleaned standing by. That pump is already attached to a measured discharge pipe, so in the event of an emergency replacement need, it can be dropped in and connected to the bottom of the check valve with the rubber sleeves already in place. I had contemplated including an outdoor camera with infared light source tied into our home surveillance system, but I may have already gone too far, according to my wife. Your system is stellar!

Those APC UPS systems are 2.2KVA, not 22KVA though

Fantastic design!

Definitely sweet. A little overkill with the lights and clear tubing... Lol. However, if that helps with peace of mind, then kudos for building all that!!

this is the best sump pit I've ever seen.. amazing!

Bra, jaw drop

Fantastic work! Quick question, will sealing the pit create vacuum in there and potentially adversely impact the pump function?

What a nice setup!

It is also has WiFi and Bluetooth and GPS

😱👍👍👍💪💪💪💪

That is an AWESOME and clean setup!!

Too bad I'm discovering this a year and three months later but man, That's hi-performance! All bases covered and then some! If there's a magazine for sump pump installs, this oughta make the cover big time! Great job! If I wasn't renting, I'd try to build a system like that (or similar).

Great job! My wife tolerates me, but you are on a whole different level! We just had 6 inches of rain in 48 hours. My single pump was getting rid of 1600 gallons per day. But homes with sump pumps, 1) keep a backup pump on the shelf 2) water alarm with sensor just above the high water point 3) run water into it every 3 or 4 months to test 4) flashlight hanging in the area. Now I need to play this video to my wife and say, "SEEE... I could be worse." :)

Best one ever

Perfect. The lid is so great. There is pump spy Gel battery.I use it. I use a small utility pump with garden hose incase. I just use garden hose to fill it to test. Yours is best.

I don't know where I'm supposed to look for this vent/weep hole ☹️

Why ABS rather than PVC?

Dude! Well done!

Will you be notified if the battery in the UPS gets low?

It's not excessive until you have a dashboard with the water level over time and an alarm if the water level gets too high!

Damn good!!!

Wow. You are super organized and well prepared. Kudos on a great strategy. I need to upgrade my system to something like yours.

Top notch job mate - great video too

And here I am patting myself on the back for installing a M98 zoller and and a clear spring loaded check valve. Plus, the M98 pulls way too much inrush current to work on my SMT2200 :/ Amazing setup btw
