Hey folks.
125gal. with 30gal. sump
This tank will be my first with a sump. I did the math and will have room in my sump to take water if my return pump stops working for whatever reason. That being said, I plan on putting a large ATO on the sump return chamber. If something should happen and my ATO where to be all added to my system, it has the possibility of overflowing the sump. So I was thinking why not install a 1 inch bulkhead below the rim of the sump and pipe it to daylight outside the house just as a precaution in case the sump water levels should rise unexpectedly. I’ve been looking around and I haven’t seen anybody set up an emergency overflow for the sump. Perhaps there’s a reason I am not thinking of that no one does it?
Thanks
