Need to connect two 1/2 hp sump pumps to a single 1 1/4" discharge pipe, but unsure if it's safe and effective.
No clear guidance or tool to verify proper pipe sizing for dual pump connections given site constraints.

App Concept
PipeSizer Pro
An app that calculates optimal discharge pipe sizing for multi-pump sump systems based on pump specs, head height, and pipe length. Suggests combiner manifold designs and checks for common pitfalls like air lock or backflow.
Key Features
- Input pump HP, flow rate, and number of pumps
- Calculate minimum pipe diameter for combined flow
- Generate manifold layout diagrams
- Flag potential issues like air lock or excessive backpressure
Target Users: Homeowners and plumbers installing or retrofitting sump pump systems in residential basements.
Revenue Model: $4.99 per calculation or $19.99/year subscription for unlimited use
