well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today I'm just going to have a little short video I'm going
to show you what happens to my house about every maybe five six years we get a lot of snow like we
have this year and it's warm out today it's like maybe plus six plus seven I've got a lot of rain
last night and what happens is I get a lot of water on my property so how do I get rid of this
water well I've got this it's called Burkham it's a pump it's a utility pump I'll hook it up to a
garden hose and this thing is just awesome I've had this pump for well over 20 years it's never
failed me and it's got a little fancy sensor on it that detects the water and it will signal to turn
the pump on when it it's needed and it shuts off obviously when it's not and what I like about it
is it doesn't run off of mechanical float like you see some sump pumps and that kind of stuff
this here is strictly some kind of a electrical optical sensor in there it works flawlessly and
what I like about it is I can put the pump out there leave it there for I'm going to say easy
a day like I leave it out there for a day and it'll run steady sometimes a lot and shut off
as the gets cooler at night and go back on off and on and that's what you want because a lot
of these other pumps out there yeah it starts to get cold and you know a lot of sump pump stuff
it's not made for outside and the chains freeze and the mechanisms freeze this thing here is just
awesome so let's go take a look well check that out there I'm gonna show you where all this water
is coming from and that pump will run like that continuously until it doesn't sense any more water
and then it will shut off and go back on when it senses water again I'll just show you that
that's the unit right there and guys this has been running here now for
six hours I'll show you it looks like at the end but this is it right here
check out all that water and if you can tell it might be hard to tell here but
that water is just running like a river right across here comes all
the way into here and here we go and I'll take you out towards the street
we had a lot of snow a lot of ice I got the hose running here and I'll open the gate for
you and there's the water running way down there I'll just zoom in a bit here for you
now could you imagine that's been running for six hours like that non-stop well what
do you guys think of that works pretty good eh I've been using that for many many many many
years like I say it's rock solid dependable so thanks for joining me here today show a little
bit of a vid on me getting rid of that water because if I don't get rid of that water it'll
just be a nightmare like for sure like I mean I love leaks in my basement and everything so
thanks for joining me here today if you haven't seen this channel before you're
