I just added a RDSB to my system, so now if the power goes out, my sumps ability to hold all the water that will drain back to it will be exceeded.
I was thinking of drilling the sump near the top and running a drain to a holding tank. Put a float switch and pump at the bottom of that tank so when the tank is empty, the pump is off. When the power goes out and water drains in there, the switch will turn on so when the power comes back on, it'll pump that water back into the sump.
Any problems doing something like this?
