Good move.The new bigger sump pump makes quick work of accumulated water... What used to take hours with the old 1/4 HP pump pushing water through 3/4" garden hose, now takes minutes with 1/2 HP and 1.25 discharge hose....
The old 1/4HP pump has a 9A label on it, the new 1/2 HP measures 2.4A actual... probably not apples to apples, but it appears more efficient.terkio wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 12:41 pmGood move.The new bigger sump pump makes quick work of accumulated water...

Twice the power, 2.8 times more hose section.
Plus a better efficiency, I presume.
