Instructions on Maintaining Your Sump Pump

1. Include an image for each step to power the How-To Schema Markup, along with images for each step (perhaps frames from the "Tips on Maintaining a Sump Pump" video)
2. Add section for materials needed. We suggest listing a 5 gallon bucket and a Flashlight (These should be marked up with the "HowToTool" property markup)
3. Include estimate of time with "totalTime" property (Must be in ISO 8601 format) -- We suggest ""PT30M"" if 30mins is an accurate estimate for properly testing your sump pump set up
4. Add pictures of each step (mentioned above)
5. Create named anchors for each of the steps and include them in schema
6. Consider expanding on the content by adding tips to each section if possible (Example: How to identify a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
7. Add link to the battery backup blog post in Step 2 with anchor text ""battery-based backup pump"" (https://www.rotorooter.com/blog/sump-pumps/why-do-i-need-a-battery-backup-for-my-sump-pump/)
