I agree with you totally. And thanks for checking this out. My concern is that the actual DC float level is slightly above the bottom of the the drain tile pipe that dumps into the sump pit. Thus the water would have to fill the pit and then the tile around the foundation before the sump pit would acutally fill enough to kick on the dc pump. Maybe that is the way it has to be, but me not knowing anything about this, thought that the dc pump should have been plumbed where it would kick in slightly before the water could enter the drain tile pipe. However the pit is not deep enough for this in my opinion. Hard to explain - I know.
Thanks for the info though.
