Hi Rosie!

R is there such a thing as an ALARM that can be hooked up to a sump
R pump that would alert the homeowners if its not working?
R power outage? pump failure?

Possibly a battery-operated water alarm. When the contacts get wet
sets the alarm off.

Not sure if Radio Shack has anything like that any more (more than
likely would be a kit). Pretty sure I've seen then in the Marlin P.
Jones catalog (www.mpja.com).

The wires to the sensor can be extended so the alarm is either in the
kitchen or at the top of the basment stairs where you'll hear it.

Simply go to www.homedepot.com and search for WATER ALARM. You can
buy the basement watchdog water alarm for 10 bux. I have several in
my house, by the hot water tank and a floor drain. You can read more
at this website as well as find places that sell it:
