Bad enough so that you've floated away, or just bad enough to make it gross?

There is 8 inches of water down here. This happened 2 years ago when the sub pump failed, as it just did again- its suppost to function without power but not very well.

thats... thats a lot of water.  You might want to invest in a better sump.  Hope you have insurance.  When my sump died because it was from like the fucking 1970s, thankfully I discovered it pretty soon after it happened because there was only a slight pond down there, and I happened to have a pool cover pump in the garage from the previous owner, so i ghetto rigged that with the garden hose while I went to the hardware store with my stepdad.

fuck, 8 inches of water, id fucking give up

my aunt and uncle had something like that happen, i forget what they had to do to fix things afterwards, but i remember it being a massive overhaul.  They had an insurance payout though, so they were able to do it in a fancy way, but i think they have more than one pump, I don't remember off the top of my head.
