I am ready to start setting up the plumbing for the sump I just built. I had a question about getting the water from the Main to the sump. I know a lot of people use overflows but there is always that little unknown in the back of your head of the event of a power failure then a flood. Could a person just use a small 300gph pump to get the water to the sump? In my mind, if you did this and there was a power failure no water woulf flood from the sump or the main display. If the pump in the sump failed the worst that would happen is that the water in the main tank would go into the sump until the water line was low enough to where the pump in the main would have no water to pump. Would this work or woul it be better to just use a overflow? If so, what overflow would you recommend? Thanks!
