    FYI


    Big fire right now either in St John or just south of SJ. Probably somewhere close to 231 and White Oak based on the column of smoke. Could be a house or a brush fire.

    My sump is running overtime. Does anybody use a battery backup system? Or another redundant system? I have a whole-house genny, so don't worry so much about power going out, but do worry the sump might fail.

    .
    Would you want the backup to be battery, if you have a whole house gen?

    Why not just put a 2nd pump there.
    AND put a horn or buzzer in parallel with it, so if the pump starts, the warning will sound.
    Otherwise, you'll be running off the backup, and not know that the main isn't working.


    Or, just hook up a level sensor (maybe a float) and have that set higher than the pump limits.
    Hook it to the horn.
    Then, if the pump stops, the horn sounds, and you can put in a portable sump pump, that you keep near by.
