screens on the bottoms of the pumps are also important to flter out large debris.

I'm not a fan of the new "computerized" automatic pumps either (typically smaller). They click on every few minutes and keep running if they detect a load. They claim not to run your battery down, but they DO use power.

here's first hand on those things...they're a P.I.T.A. put on in last yr and I'll never get use to hearing it go on and off. Yes it's coming out this winter...
