Cpr with the aqualifters are nice. The aqualifters sometimes fail. If you lose siphon, then your floor will be flooded. I cant remember how to prevent this, so its up to you to research it. Seems way easier to drill, which is what i did.
If you use the valve mentioned above, then you can use 1 pump. Just T off from the return pump to create 2 return line.
Researched it the only way to make it not overflow if power fails that I found was get the overflow to siphon then killed your pumps. Have a cup and bucket and get ready to scoop water out of the sump when your overflow stops working because it he water level is not high enough and your sump is full almost all the way to the top. Then turn your pumps back on whatever your display tank water level is at this point is what it needs to be at all times. It says to just mark the water level with a dry erase marker does that sound about right?
