Who on here runs a sump in their garage?
How do you handle summer?

It can be done here. insulate the garage, divert AC to the garage, portable AC unit and/or big chiller.

depends on the layout of your garage. ID say a chiller with an insulated sump would be best. pretty hard to close the garage enough to hold in a portable ac air. Probably easier to insulate a smaller space.

You have problems in winter lol. so nice up there and in sedona. I'll be up there camping soon enough.
My garage is where I have 5 tanks set up currently. It is well insulated with central heat and a wood stove. So it rarely gets below 65 degrees in the winter. Tank heaters and Apex help keep things in check so I don't have big temp swings.
