[quote=Anonymous]Our AC drains into the sump pump pit, so in the summer, when the AC is running a lot, the sump runs because there is so much condensate from the AC running into it (even if it hasn't rained in a while). The sump only runs in the winter if we get >1 inch of rain within 24 hours. But it will run in the summer every couple of days if it is hot and humid because the AC is pulling all that moisture out of the air to cool the house. If you have a heat pump, you will see a white PVC pipe running from it to the sump. There should also be a capped inlet where you should pour a cup of bleach every couple of months to keep mold/mildew from forming. [/quote]
