Water flow back to sump tank


Recommended Posts

Eh... Bro... if return pump not working, there should be no more water flowing down to your sump. Unless you dun have a overflow system and you are running 2 pumps. 1 pump water from main tank to sump and the other pump from sump back to main tank. If that is your case, you can try using a float switch to control both pumps.

There will be a back flow through your return from your main tank when the return pump dies...

Just drill a hole just below your water level, when the pump dies, the water level will drop to the hole and start ###### air in and the backflow will stop..
