@Fin That's neat how you set up the check valve. What's holding it in place? Do you have one for each return pump?

Yes, there are two of them. I was copying Melev's set up, but he was not using two separate pumps. He just T'd his two returns and put a reverse check valve in the center of the two returns. There is just a T at each SeaSwirl and pipe to the check valves. My returns are pretty deep, so I definitely need something that will stop the flow. There are other ways to do it, I just wanted to try this one.

I’m so excited! I’m not down here alone!:cool:

As easily as it floods here, I think we may have sunk a few feet since that particular survey. :-)

Two MP-40s & 2 Vectra pumps. Same controller (in appearance anyway).

Could be worse. Parts of New Orleans is 6 feet below sea level.

My son stefan thought he would be smart and funny and start snapping me with a towel. I told him his uncle's and I used to snap each other till we bled and one gave up. I let him get me four times before I retaliated. He tried to use a towel to protect him self. Hands are a great target.
This is the aftermath

I win. Lol

I looked at AIO. I’m new to the game, but saw that it would be too restrictive. Too few options.

Well aware of that. My grandfather used to run one of those drainage pumping stations back in the 60's. I got to go inside with him when I was a little kid. Pretty neat inside one of those things.

What a memory. Now a kid couldn't do that with a grownup
