09:26 PM rue_bed2: how deep did it get before itwas noticed?
09:26 PM rue_bed2: heh
09:26 PM rue_bed2: I have to fugure out this energy problem
09:26 PM rue_bed2: i'm losing like 10-16 hours/week
09:26 PM rue_bed2: and I cant keep taking asa to fix it
09:27 PM rue_bed2: (thats why i been sleeping, not taking the asa)
09:27 PM Tom_L: 2-3" all over
09:27 PM rue_bed2: Tom_L, ... you dont have a sump down there?
09:28 PM Tom_L: waste and sump pump
09:28 PM rue_bed2: how long did it take to get that deep????
09:28 PM rue_bed2: how did the sump allow it to get to 2"????
09:28 PM Tom_L: i was down there at 11pm and he got up around 1-1:30 to the swimming pool
09:28 PM rue_bed2: your in hurricane area
09:28 PM Tom_L: no
09:29 PM rue_bed2: tornado?
09:29 PM Tom_L: possibly
09:29 PM Tom_L: i've never had any water at all in the sump
09:29 PM rue_bed2: both those come with crazy rain storms
09:29 PM Tom_L: ever
09:29 PM rue_bed2: yea, but it should have kept the level to about 1/2" or less
09:29 PM Tom_L: it may have been restricted a bit
09:30 PM rue_bed2: uhu
09:30 PM Tom_L: 1.5" ? pump
09:30 PM Tom_L: iirc the waste pump is 2"
09:30 PM rue_bed2: sumps to in recesses in the floor
09:30 PM Tom_L: both zoller
09:30 PM rue_bed2: usually low points in the floor
09:31 PM rue_bed2: aka a recess in the low point of the floor
09:31 PM zhanx: pressure in was higher than the pump could do out
09:31 PM rue_bed2: hmm
09:31 PM Tom_L: did you see what broke?
09:31 PM rue_bed2: yea
09:31 PM rue_bed2: the tank only has 1/2" line at 60psi th, right?
09:32 PM Tom_L: 3/4
09:32 PM rue_bed2: sump should have a ~1.5" port on it
09:32 PM rue_bed2: oof
09:32 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/temp/house/11.jpg
09:32 PM Tom_L: there it is before it was done
09:33 PM Tom_L: not a good pic
09:33 PM rue_bed2: not a great pic
09:33 PM Tom_L: long time ago
09:33 PM rue_bed2: thats why I thought it was a concrete floor
09:33 PM Tom_L: that one is the waste, i don't think the sump was dug there yet
09:33 PM Tom_L: it was
09:33 PM Tom_L: they poured that in the 2nd floor pour
09:34 PM rue_bed2: so, the sump was going full bore then?
09:34 PM Tom_L: i can't say for sure
09:34 PM rue_bed2: may I suggest
09:34 PM rue_bed2: - test the sump
09:34 PM rue_bed2: - put a CT on it, that sounds an alarm
09:34 PM Tom_L: there may be a few details i'm leaving out on purpose
09:35 PM rue_bed2: ok
09:35 PM rue_bed2: none the less ^^
09:35 PM rue_bed2: cause this could have been via a horrid rainstorm
09:35 PM rue_bed2: eh?
09:35 PM Tom_L: https://www.zoellerpumps.com/en-us/products/sump-effluent-pumps/residential/50-series
09:36 PM Tom_L: they are both good pumps
09:36 PM Tom_L: similar to that
09:36 PM Tom_L: vary in size
09:36 PM Tom_L: not the cheap pole sump pumps
09:37 PM Tom_L: i've replaced the switch in the waste pump a couple times
09:38 PM rue_mohr: yup
09:38 PM rue_mohr: like you say, the sump has never run, and never should
09:39 PM rue_mohr: CT?
09:39 PM rue_mohr: buzzer?
09:39 PM Tom_L: ct?
09:39 PM Tom_L: no
09:39 PM rue_mohr: current transformer
09:39 PM Tom_L: motors generally require power to turn
09:39 PM Tom_L: you can surmise what you wish from that
09:40 PM rue_mohr: there can be a number of checks that trip an indicator
09:42 PM Tom_L: human error may have been a factor
09:42 PM Tom_L: the pump is practically new
09:43 PM Tom_L: but who'd have thought a tank would do that with no warning?
09:49 PM rue_mohr: thats the thing
09:50 PM rue_mohr: every time I had a fault with the boiler I used it to build new systems and avoid more types of faults
09:50 PM rue_mohr: emergency systems usually cover unextpected operation and power failure
09:50 PM Tom_L: anyway, insurance guy came by yesterday, carpet measure done today and the guys drying it came by again
09:51 PM Tom_L: gotta get new baseboard wood
09:52 PM rue_mohr: and are tested anually

09:53 PM Tom_L: that was a cold mess
09:54 PM Tom_L: and before the basement was even there
