Hello, luckily I stumbled onto your channel and watched/learned from several of your videos. I am looking to diy my French drain/sump pump but have an electrician install the electrical run and gfci inside weatherproof housing. What gfci and weatherproof housing do you recommend? If you already have a video on this I missed it I am sorry. The back yard gently slopes toward the back wall so the outlet will need to be there and away from the home.
Your videos inspired us to build our own french drain! We have this pump. We know our basin is too small, we just got what was available at the box store. We need to move A LOT of water. when we get a big rain event, the m98 works well for a few hours, then its output drops significantly. Is it underpowered? Do we need a bigger pump? I think we need to move 10,000+ gallons of water. Can you provide any insight?
Somehow the float on mine came off and it didn't pump out water. Nothing was down there to be ruined and the float was real easy to reattach. I just put a few fans down there and now it is dry once more. I still find it annoying that it happened in the first place. I tested the switch (flip it on by hand like a light switch) and found that the pump is still OK, it is just the float that needed fixed.
I'm looking for that check valve and only find the type that is made to fit both 1.5 and 1.25. Where do you find a 1.5 all the way through?
Do you know if you can get longer float arms or adjust them so they don't cycle as frequently?
Thanks for sharing 😊
Very nice, Chuck, interesting again and again - all your clips. I'm a great Fan! Warm Greetings from Germany, Oliver

Zoeller still recommends making hole in the pipe.
Thanks
Zoeller rhymes with Dollar.
