100 Gallons of water on the carpet

[shua71]

You know, this will happen to you every time you have a power outage as well. Your pump return should be above the tanks water level to prevent the siphon. Every inch below the water’s surface is an inch of water on your floor when you have some kind of failure /pump breaks or power outage.

Yup I figured this out after the leak. Got the tank the week before and its my first time working with a sump so i'm learning. I'm gonna try to find a section where I can pull the carpet back and check underneath the padding
