You have a couple of issues here.

First, your pump is very small. It is probably only capable of pumping maybe 10-20 GPM (40-80 litres/minute). The maximum flow it will produce depends on the head required in the system (see below).

Second, your hose is small diameter. When water flows through the hose it creates what is known as friction loss: The water slows as it goes through the hose and rubs against the inside diameter of the hose.

Pumps are rated on flow and head (head is the pressure it produces and is measured in feet or meters usually). When the head in the system goes up (i.e. more pressure loss through the hose) the flow it will produce goes down. That is why the shorter hose allows you to get more flow, there's less pressure drop/friction loss in the shorter hose. A larger diameter hose will produce less friction loss as well. Both the shorter hose and a larger diameter hose will increase the flow.

Third, the sump (the hole) the pump sits in is not low enough. Typically a sump will sit several feet below the grade of the floor. This allows the water to drain and accumulate in the sump at a greater level, say a few feet of water. The higher level of water keeps the pump submerged in the water which cools the motor of the pump (the top of the pump in this case). You'll see in your pictures that the top of your pump is not submerged. I can guarantee that pump is getting super hot and will trip out when the temperature gets too high and will not turn back on until it cools or just burn out completely. Submersible pumps like this need the water to cool the motor. You can direct some of the water from the pump's discharge line on to the top of the motor to help cool it but a deeper sump would be better.

Also, your pump's suction (the bottom) is probably sucking in some air as the water on the floor gets lower. Air in the system can stall out the pump so it stops pumping altogether. The pump is running and getting hot but not moving any water.

Fourth, your float switch is not working as it should (the red thing at the top of the pump picture). It appears to be tied to the cord and is sitting way above the pump. The float switch turns the pump on/off as the water level rises/falls. In this situation your sump is not deep enough so the float switch is useless. It should be sitting on top of the water.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Someone I know goes to Stanford and they are requiring the jab. They got a medical exemption due to adverse reactions they had when they got the required MMR jab to attend Stanford in the first place. Stanford is fighting the exemption. Says they have to come to campus and be tested for allergens and if none are found they will jab them with the J&J on site in their "clinical setting". The person in question asked Stanford if they knew what was in the MMR vaccine so they could test for allergens that were introduced in that jab but Stanford said they have no clue what is in the MMR vaccine nor do they know what is in the J&J juice. How can they determine if someone is allergic to the ingredients in the jab if the don't even know what is in the jab? This whole situation is getting scarier by the day. Interstate travel restrictions? No fly list? Unable to go the store? It won't end well I'm afraid.

One of my customers got the first jab and then said he would never get the second. I saw him last week and he said his company is now offering $500 for the second jab or two extra days off. He said "I might as well take the money, I already had the first one". I told him he was nuts but go ahead man. It's your life. Overweight, diabetic, multiple comorbidity. It's been nice knowing you "Frank".

Looks interesting. I will give it a read. My wife reads all kinds of books like this so I'll pass the download info on to her. Thank you so much!

My mom's always had ants on them. Ants love peonys.

I had a '71 with a 440 (drag strip car) for awhile and in college I had an old beat up '73 with a 318. Sold the 71 and had to scrap the 73 as it was all rusted out and threw the timing chain which bent up the rods in the engine. Great cars and fun to work on but they cost a fortune now. The guy I sold the '71 to put about 60 grand into it and then died of a brain aneurysm before he ever drove it. His wife lost money on it when she sold it but she had no use for it.

What is "IT"? I would avoid that like the plague or hold a magnet to it's face until it's lips ripped off.

These are actually Obama's pets. This video is from 2016.

The cat was a feral one that she picked up somewhere and kind of domesticated. It would let you pet her like once, twice, three times then she gets this look on her face and takes a swipe at you.

Our dogs are Weims and love killing things but the cat would often come out of the room and sit in the living room daring the dogs to try something. Vicious little fucker. I guess we were more afraid the cat would scratch their eyes out.


/v/ShitpostLitterBox viewpost?postid=607213a9e4382

We used to take care of my daughter's cat while she was in college. She pretty much had to stay in my daughter's room so our dogs wouldn't eat her. I used to leave bird tv on loop all the time for her.


/v/ShitpostLitterBox viewpost?postid=607213a9e4382

Same here. I've mentioned it several times.

Did you ever put anything nasty in someone's food because you didn't like them?


/v/AMA viewpost?postid=606b3fcde029a

That's bullshit on their part but thanks for having a plan B! I hope they all go broke.

Very nice. We feed the Quail and Doves every night. They are hysterical to watch especially now that it's mating season.

Not bad at all. Jump on that shit.
