Thanks! I appreciate the links!

Thanks Dan! Always a huge help! Easy to follow instructions and truly appreciate the links! I’m going to switch ours out next. Love the idea of a quite one!

Great idea and you’re very welcome, thanks for watching and the comment.

Fantastic #howto ! That’s incredible how quiet it is! Great job Dan!

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thank you, I agree I was impressed how quiet it is. It’s a powerful pump so doesn’t run long either.

[@tamaralaycoxrealestate]

Great tutorial! Thanks Dan 😊

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thank you, much appreciated!

You showed how to replace old pump with a new one not how to install new pump where no pump was present at all.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thanks for watching and hopefully you found something helpful in the video. I will make note of your comment as that is a good idea for a future video.

I watched both the vids. Thanks. The guy I bought from had a second pump installed for drainage under the basement floor. It runs maybe once a summer after a major rainfall. Very very noisy. I’m reluctant to replace the pump itself since even though it’s old it’s had hardly any use. My current thinking is to add the quiet check valve and see if that does the trick. I figure that if it doesn’t, I can still reuse the quiet valve. Sound like a plan?

[@inspiringbuilds]

Good plan and yes you can reuse the check valve. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel.

How often should I replace my sump pump?

[@inspiringbuilds]

@@matrixilluminati1132 Thanks for watching and good question. The average time is 7-10 years, but I would replace sooner if you’re experiencing any of these issues: frequent malfunctions, excessive vibration, strange noises, increased energy bills, water damage, running nonstop, or erratic cycling. To maximize life sump pumps should be inspected, cleaned, and maintained once per year. Let me know if that help. 👍

My sump pump died and I replaced it with a new one. The installation was actually easier than I thought. It literally took me 20 minutes. But I did make sure to buy the same pump just to make sure it would fit just like the old one.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Nice work, I hope the video was helpful. I’m sure it felt good to install it yourself!

[@FixItFrench]

Excellent work! Very detailed video. It looks like a great pump, especially with that five-year warranty

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thank you sir, appreciate the continued support. It’s a great pump for sure and Wayne pumps have a proven track record. How’s the basement coming along?

[@FixItFrench]

@@inspiringbuilds about 1/4 finished. Ended up being more work than expected, but that is usually how these old basements go. Had to end up re-waterproofing an entire side of the house, and took a little break to get our garden started. The goal is to get the basement finished by June 29. Which is my sons first birthday

[@nataliemorrison7173]

Thank you! So many power outages and storms. This is very helpful!

[@inspiringbuilds]

Very true, definitely seems like more than normal this year. Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

[@OverOut]

so helpful! Thanks Dan.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thank you, glad it was helpful!

[@AlMcClure]

Professional job. You sold me on buying this sump pump.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Thank you, their pumps have a proven track record and the 5 year warranty is awesome!

[@underdog0731]
