Hi - newbie here in this forum Might install a new sump pump this year and noise is an important factor for me. Would like to get some input on what make/model is the quietest. I currently have a Little Giant, and most of the retail stores around here sell Flotec. One of the stores had a Flotec demo and I thought it sounded pretty noisy. But then it was on a display endcap and not in a hole in the ground! :rolleyes: Thanks for you advice.

hi, i just bought a house that was built in 1860. the well is not on record anywhere. i have a shallow well pump(1/2hp for wells up to 25ft. Would that mean 25ft from the house or 25ft deep?) Sorry i am pretty ignorant on the subject. i can see where the pipe leaves the house. i have talked to a plumber in the area and he told me it is normal in this area for people to dig down about 15 feet until they hit water and thats it. Should my well have a cover on it?? Is it safe to assume that its near the house?? the house has a new deck on the house that is over where the pipe would come out of the house. Any help would be appreciated. thanks
