Esshup, Thanks for the response.As I stated I bought my place so it is what it is. I did cycle it just a few days ago to see if it functioned (it did thank goodness) From what the previous owner described it is installed similar to "Brettski's" setup although I'd venture to say with nowhere near the detail on the pickup end. Which by the way Brettski excellant write up in the "drain thought stimulator"
