jeves Small Fry Posts: 9 Kudos: 9 Votes: 0 Registered: 20-Sep-2011 | Hi all, Has anyone got a sump incoporating a overflow safty valve. IE, if the pump fails and water not pumped back to tank then the full volume of the tank woung tricle down into the sump. Eventually the sump would over flow and being in a flat could and up downstairs. Can anyone recommened a system as a overflow sump over hours would cause a lot of damage. Some sumps seen on the internet does not seam to incoporate a cut out system. Thanks Jeves. |

It was basically just a plastic ball that stopped it from allowing any more water in once it floated to a specific height. ^_^ |
