Is there such a thing you might ask, such as any type of sump pump maintenence .Well there really is not, in my opinion except keeping debris from the area of the impellers. I say this as most newer pumps that set totally underwater are sealed units. Recently we discoverd that it was not the pump that quit working because of an interior problem but because of a faulty exterior float valve.Now, Ihave learned a new trick, if you are operating more than one sump pump that utilizes an exterior float valve. . this style of pump has one plug which plugs into the into another. Usually the first plug is the one which operates the float valve and the second the pump. so if you or I , the blind person feels this plug settup at a wall outlet it sticks out much more , the piggy back two plug makes it obviously stick out much further. Should one pump quit working , one can simply unplug that pump and plugh it into the float valve plug of another pump. . that is just a FYI on learning about pumps during a rainstorm. Lee
