US Patent 7458782 Computer monitoring system for pumps

A computer monitoring system for controlling the operation of a sump pump, and reporting failure of the sump pump. The computer monitoring system includes a sump pump designed for pumping water out of a sump pit, a level sensing assembly positioned within the sump pit for detecting a level of water in the sump pit, and a control interface program operationally interacting with the conventional information handling system and operationally coupled to the sump pump and the level sensing assembly through the conventional information handling system for activating the sump pump when the level sensing assembly signals that water in the sump pit has reached a predetermined level.
