I wish I had known they didn't when it was put in. As it is, I have a ball valve outside that either sends it underground or out a pipe. The old valve was stuck sending the water down, so I removed it and the pipe. I wasn't expecting this amount of water, nor that it would not go far enough to flow away from the house. Live and learn. New valve in now.Ours is. We both keep an eye on the caged exit portion.
I use some really awesome tape. Not as rough as skateboard tape, but really grippy.Hope everyone's staying dry.
Does anybody here have experience with the wrap-a-round grip sets that you add to your existing grips for a little better texture or just more to grab onto?
Do they stay put, or move around?

That sucks. I told the wife last week I'm changing out our 8 year old pump. Did it this past Saturday. Went with a Zoeller M53 with the recommendation from a plumber buddy. Not taking any chances with all the melting and rain coming. Been there done that.Check your sump pumps if you have them.
Ours wasn't quite keeping up since the discharge was dumping it right next to the house. Got it redirected, and now we are getting around to finally cleaning the basement.
Raceway Park?Anyone recognize this track ? 1950s date range.

Yep. Major malfunction between all these "distribution" centers. I've got a letter in one of the USPS official expedited envelopes that went from Schererville to Elk Grove Village distribution (which I'd never heard of after 38 years in the mail biz), then onto Bedford Park for several days, and now in Chicago distribution. I mailed on Thursday and it's supposed to be heading south to Indy.
Regional Postmaster must be so proud.

Amazon deliveries are getting to be ridiculously slow also.Yep. Major malfunction between all these "distribution" centers.

Zoellers are good pumps. If you went to Lowes for one you would at least have an easy rereplacement in a few days when it failed. Don’t ask me how I know.That sucks.

I figured the bridge would be the key.From the bridge in the picture my guess would be Blue Island Speedway in Illinois.
Haven't had that problem. Apart from driving through Kevin and T's yard all the time they might be the best.Amazon deliveries are getting to be ridiculously slow also.

Amazon, sheesh!
I ordered this and then immediately canceled it. I got a cancellation notice. Two weeks later it came from amazon.
Since I had canceled it. It wasn't in my purchased history. So I couldn't get a return label for It. I contacted Amazon and asked them for a return label. they said. Wasn't there a problem that I have to contact the company that made it.
I contacted the company that made it and they said wasn't their problem. I had to return It to Amazon myself.I went back-and-forth with Amazon and the distributor and to no Avail. After a month of fighting, everybody stopped emailing me on what I should do. I told him I was gonna throw it in the garbage. however, if somebody would like this. They can have it for free. Because I'm not gonna mess with Amazon. I didn't pay for it. I don't want anything for it.
This!!Don't buy sump pumps at Big Box Stores!
Zoeller or Grunfos at Leeps or another actual plumbing supply!
It's a small air pump that 3d printer guys normally use.pretty safe to say no one has a clue what that is.
Yep, Leeps!This!!
Zoeller is a very good brand but they have 2 lines. The big box store gets thr line that comes from China with the zoeller name. Junk!
The actual plumbing stores had the real zoeller units.
FACTS! Saw no less than a dozen cars with flats omw to work today 65/94It's flat tire central. Everywhere flat tires. I don't know if they're hitting pot holes or what.
