EcoRenovator - View Single Post - Using basement sump water to cool the house

Daox · 08-02-11, 11:41 AM

A few people have gotten confused, its probably my fault. I started the thread talking about my uncle's house who does have unlimited sump water to use. My setup is kind of a proof of concept of the idea, but I don't have the water he does.

I am not sure how long it takes the sump to refill after emptied. Just by me messing around building the stuff the other day its not quick though (unless it rains). The main problem is I don't have proper drain tile around the house. The sump is pretty much just a hole in the ground that water eventually makes its way over to. Its a pending renovation that I haven't gotten to yet.
