Default a few crazy thoughts that just arrived...

Is there any way to generate hydro-electric power using the force of the water that is falling down from the display tank into the sump?

Is there anyway to use the pressure of tap water to generate hydro-electric power? I believe that the water still flows from the taps during a powerfailure...

How many solar panels would it take to generate just enough electricity to run your sump pump in the event of a power failure?
