Got a new sump setup to install this weekend. It will probably be a bear to install but should help save me on maintenance in the long run. Its going to be a messy weekend

Joel at Triton Marine built them. I sent him the dimensions for each section, he rolled his eyes, said I was crazy and built them for me. They are very well built.

Are those uniseals for the holes?

Give us a rundown of your strategy for the design.................it looks interesting.

It was a major project to get this sump in, but it is finally up and running. So far so good!

How high does the water go when you switch the power off?

It holds. In the video the water level is actually higher then it will normally be. I was messing with flow levels.

I am not sure on the tank's energy consumption. I can tell you that from my electric bill history my household energy consumption is between 1.0kw in mild months to 1.9kw in very hot months.

don't forget the use of bio fuel, you would be amazed by the amount of methane and other gases decomposing bio masses create

As big as you can go.......obviously it needs to be practical, but go with the biggest practical option.
