Hello All,
I am replacing my old Wayne sump pump that failed to activate when I test filled the sump pit with water and the float switch didn't float and activate. The Wayne pump has, what looks like, a standard garden hose (1" diameter) attached to it for a discharge.
I am going with a Zoeller M53 but it has a 1.5" discharge line and I would rather keep the current discharge line configuration intact. So the two questions are:
1) Would there be any harm in reducing from the Zoeller 1.5" discharge line to the 'utility' hose line which measures 1" in diameter?
2) If question 1) is a 'no harm' then where would the best place be to put the check value? On the 1.5" line or on the 1" discharge line?
Thanks,
J
BTW, Great forum very informative.
