I have one at my home and the city made the plumber install a backflow. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

That looks like an ejector pump and sump there. It would be weird to have a well there. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

No well.

Sump pump for ground water. Had 2 backups. One battery and one water backup.

Here is the link for the water backup pump. www.zoeller.com/zcopump/products/backupsystems/homeguard.htm

Sometimes, on home inspections, there will be a battery present and the people will ask me why it is there. My answer is, "Life experience." Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
