Just wanted to say "great show," Dick is a wealth of information and I would definetly have him on as a regular. How about a show on "additives" for a future show ?

I agree. Great having some plumbing tips from a pro. It was good to know I was on the right track with my pump configuation. I definiteley think plumbing could be a regular topic since there is so much to know about this very important part of the system.

One thing to mention about that last section of the sump as well:

If it is not big enough, your return pump will suck it dry before it gets a chance to refill. I did this by mistake one time.
