Sump Refill During Water Change

I put in my ATO so I didn't have to lug buckets up and down the stairs. I findI am still moving buckets a short distance (5 feet) to fill up during my water changes. I decided that I had had enough of that was well. Today I built this to circulate water in my mixing bucket and to move water to the sump after draining it.



I still have to complete the plumbing to the sump. I should have that finished in the next hour or so.

The plumbing to the sump is complete. Just need to wait two hours for the curing. Can't wait to try it out!
