Re: Entropy
Scratching another one off my to do list, I used my new "Y" driver bits and took apart my previous sump pump. I was looking for a blocked air vent and found a ball bearing check valve. The ball was stuck up, sealing the vent hole, but it dropped easily when I touched it with a nail point....

I removed the power plug... it took a few minutes to download a clean operating system from the satellite and reset. It appears to be behaving now. === I am still dealing with s...

Re: Entropy
Yes it would prevent responding to waves. I'll take one decent 3-4" rain... not that uncommon around here I am absolutely in no hurry to repair the controller that lightning trashed even though it is probably something simple. I would be more tempted to drop a microprocessor in there but even t...

Re: Entropy
It is a low tech design using a 555 and a few discrete components. Still a very useful part. I recall you saying that you'd never used one. You're in a small club. I met the guy who designed it back in the 70s (Hans Camenzind RIP). I never used one in a commercial design. Back when it was the new s...

Re: Entropy
Slowly getting caught up after a week of making sawdust and CO2 out in the yard. -Finished resetting my sump pump and hopefully preventing future tip over...besides being top heavy when the pump starts up it generates some torque in the outlet discharge hose that tests stability.

Re: Entropy
Today after I finished making sawdust and CO2 in my yard I decided to reset the sump pump down in the crawl space,,, It had tilted over again. :oops: I plugged in a drop light so I could see what was going on down there.
