Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Or ya know, a siphon jet back up. Maybe not an option if you are on a well pump. But a much cleaner fix for power failure AND main pump failure. Its a good thing you can maintain the pumps yourself because ain't nobody gonna touch that.
I mentioned in another comment but I have two pumps and an alternator that swaps between them, so I'm not overtly concerned with pump failure, more-so power failure.
The siphon's are dope but yes wasn't an option. I was a professional plumber in a previous life, so yea, I'll be maintain this thing lol.
This is the first time I've heard of siphon jet backup pumps. That looks like a really great option and I wish I had known about those years ago when I put in my own battery backup.
