Default anyone know of an auto-variable output sump pump arrangement?

Install 2 small sump pumps - one 4 or 5 inches above the other. The
low pump does most of the work, but in heavy water conditions the
second pump takes the excess. This is ONE place where a check valve is
mandatory unless you use 2 outlets (which is not a bad idea - because
if the main discharge gets plugged, causing the sump to overfill, the
second pump has it's own outlet and can still work.


Eyup, that's one of the methods I was considering... But again,
was thinking this is such a common situation someone, somewhere,
must be offering a ready made solution..

Thanks


No idea how common, what matters is if people care about it and would
pay a considerable premium. I'd not pay it when the old way has worked
for a century or so.
