It all comes down to lift height on whether or not the pool cover pump will work...Likely it will work to some degree...I'd find the first spot to get wet and set it there...Try and keep the rise in the hose as low as possible....
I saw my Dad siphon water from our basement for years...35 years....He passed in 95....I found the first spot to puddle and cut the concrete too that spot and installed a 4 inch pipe...I then ran the pipe on a grade all the way into the creek...Worked famously until those frogs built a house in the inlet last Spring...Water was about a foot deep when I unclogged the drain...I also installed a concrete basin just outside the basement door as water liked to collect there as well...Custom formed and hand poured....Signed "Cowboys from Hell" 1996...I do the concrete betcha' bottom dollar it's tagged CFH
The head Cowboy...my avatar was shot dead on stage 12/8/04 in Columbus, Ohio...I was straightening the frame on a car and listening to the local swap
shop on the radio...Paul Harvey's news played during the swap shop...He only knew it was a member of Damageplan and a former member of Pantera...I'll never forget that...
We also lost John Lennon 34 years ago on 12/8...
Trust I was beat to Hades after all the acrobatics involved with getting my beach crib insulated...The elbow stabbing and head bashing didn't help...All that ding dang wall scrubbing added too the pain...For an encore I will wash those monster tires and polish up the rims tomorrow...Also got a check valve for my compressor today...It's a 25 dollar valve and i'm praying it saves me from a compressor purchase...Trust this...When those tires are rolling on my Dodge it's freakin' break time....
Jerry, our main problem is that we can't let the water get more than a couple of inches deep or it will hit the furnace. It is only on 1inch blocks so it only has about 6" before the burner is under water. That makes mucking imperative every hour or 2. Can't jack it up for more blocks because of the gas line, pipes, stack, etc.
