Need small pump

Sep 16, 2008 2 Replies

I have a problem with a basement leak that only occurs during extremely bad rainstorms. This occurs once every couple of years.



Until the problem is solved I need a small quiet water pump that I can position and run continuously overnight or when I am at work. I plan on attaching a wet vacs floor suction tool that will be directed at the leak. Then I will plumb the output to the sump pump.



I can find small submersibles pumps but not small pumps that will accept plumbing and can be run dry continuously.



Any help about finding a suitable pump would be appreciated.


I wouldn't think "running dry" would be good for a pump. As for a small one, maybe an A/C condensate pump might be adaptable.

Don't run continuous, install a float switch to turn off when there is water and off when no water.
