It's pretty puzzling, Jerry. The property is like an amusement park. Everything is very high quality, and pretty tricked out. The house had two owners. The first was a genius, who took things gradually. The second occupant/owner enhanced things as well, but, toward the end, developed some highly eccentric ideas. A pump in the tank is much quieter, so it is possible that this was put in by the second owner/occupant and that he surmised that rainwater was pure water. I was gifted with all the plans and permits procured by the first owner. All I am left with by the second owner/occupant (there were two owners, but only the husband occupied the premises) is the handiwork. No papers. But you can tell the mind of the two owners, somewhat, by their works. The first owner was practical, detailed oriented and understated. The second owner/occupant tended toward ostentation and innovation, without concern for practical effects.
I think the sump pump was put in by the second owner/occupant, but will probably never know for sure. It just seems more his style.
Third owners are putting in a 20 micron filter, a 5 micron charcoal filter, and a huge, can't miss light, once Steve gets around to it!!
