the real trick is to make sure you have a back up sump pump because the ALWAYS fail sometimes months sometimes years,,,,like the Oil Pressure guage on a W124, it just a matter of time.

Howitzer, any advice on a backup pump brand or type? Also, my pit is sealed with a plastic top, caulked around the edges and it has a clear window on top for viewing the interior. Is this a standard setup? If it is completely sealed will it leak if the power fails or will the water go elswhere? I'm thinking of pulling the plug tonight to let the pit fill and see what happens.....good idea or not?
