I've learned a lot about them in just over a year. Mine died in spring 2007, which I discovered when my (unfinished) basement had about 6 inches of water. I learned that they work better if they pump the water outside of your house rather than spraying it all over the basement. More recently, I learned that plugging up the discharge tube also tends to mess things up. Oh, and trying to re-attach a hose coupling in the dark underwater is challenging...
I think I'm done learning about sump pums...
