Thanks for the reply. So it is normal for the check valve to spray water when the pump is operating and a few seconds after the pump shuts off? It is a pretty good spray as it hits the cover and leaks onto the floor. Also any thoughts on why the back up system will not drain the pit? The moter runs and water circulates in the pit, but water is not removed. I can check this as I can see where the discharge pipe drains into the outside drain pipe which leads to the storm drain. Only the main pump is removing water. Any Thoughts? Thanks.
