Installing a Replacement Sump Pump

Don’t look stupid, learn this simple job.

Here’s how to replace a sump pump. Installation is pretty easy. You will work with PVC, rubber couplings, and a check valve using channel locks and 6-in-1 screwdriver. I also explain some safety and efficiency principles.

The video was recorded with the online capture, so it ran out at 10 minutes, but I was essentially finished.  Just check your manual for any floater hight adjustments.

Also note, I remove a rock slab in this video for height purposes, but still had a thin tile down there.  Make sure you have SOME flat surface down there, tile, wood, brick,…  Dont put the pump directly on dirt & rocks that could clog up the pump.
