    Dry well pump

    I know this is an old thread, but for anyone else that comes along, I bought one of these FluentPower sump pumps that has an integrated float switch. There's a manual/auto switch that you can remove to make it fully auto. It fits inside a 8" pipe. You probably should use a check valve at the...

    Another ground water issue

    Well, sadly we're going to tell the PB to fill it in and give us our money back. He completely disappeared and told us we'd have to figure it out on our own.

    Another ground water issue

    Hi all, We're in the process of installing a (15'x34') fiberglass pool. Half way through the dig everything ground to a halt. The spring water table on our property is sitting around 48-50" depth while the pool depth is 3'6"-6'6". It has been fairly wet lately with snow and rain. We're not...
