As for the sump pump anyone i ring are trying to sell me one with a grinder and that is making it run into fierce money has everyone one with the grinder or would an ordinary sump pump do i would be watching hairs and anything i think that might block it .. Also lastly what size water heater do i need for a 12 unit .. thanks
