Q. What are the details of the 30-30 sump pump counters? (11/12/13)

A. A pump test is performed when the sump pump monitor is installed. The data collected from the pump test is used to calibrate the monitor.   The monitor records when the pump cycles on and when it cycles off.  When the data is collected (the monitors can store several weeks of data) it is then converted to an approximate gallons per minute of water pumped from the sump pump, based on how often the pump cycles "on".
