The 1/2 of our basement that we could live in is always dry. We have two H2O drain pumps in 5 gallon containers (one at each end) in the 1/2 of our basement that could get wet, but never has. Those 2 drains go directly outside. When we go away on an overnight or longer trip, I go to the inside breaker box and flip the well pump switch off. Without that pump, no water can get inside. That means no water gets into the house until the pump is turned back on. I can also turn the electric well "easy" pump on or off from inside the main house or the well house...again just a switch. I also installed a hand operated "Easy Pump" inside the well house. If we have no power, I can hand operate the "easy pump"to get H2O from the well, and thru an RV hose, and into the house. Try google for "easy pump". We have two 60 gallon plastic H2O approved containers for inside the house, one for kitchen and one for the main bathroom...and strengthened counter tops to hold them for gravity feed. Feeling lazy? We also have a small battery operated electric motor that can operate the easy pump from the well to the 60 gallon containers...It uses a 12 Volt vehicle battery. My golf cart has 5 of them charged all the time...and I don't golf. The golf cart is inspected, insured, licensed and approved for use on public streets. The hand pump is enough to fill those containers...just needs more time. "Easy Pump" is a great name for the system. Installation was much easier than I anticipated. I did need a well "mechanic" to get the pump down the well pipe. The well pump is about 150' down. The easy pump is about 125' down. It really is easy to operate by hand or the "electric" version. I installed both options.
