Abstract: A method of operation analysis of operation of a plurality of sump pumps located at various, separate locations. A plurality of sensors are respectively associated therewith. Each sensor sensing at least one operation condition. A plurality of location communication devices are respectively associated therewith. A master communicating device is located away from the separate locations. The communicated information is received at the master communicating device. The received communicated information is stored in memory. At least one benchmark value is determined concerning an operating condition utilizing the received information for each of the plurality of sump pumps. The received information for each of the sump pumps is compared to the benchmark value. Each sump pumps based is classified based upon each respective comparison.
