Sump Tub

[Gerryd]

Hi all,

I purchased a sterilite brand storage underbed storage bin and placed my sump inside of it. While the sump takes up most of the room, there is enough area to at least capture a couple/few gallons in the event the sump overflows a bit if I fill the sump too high. I have high evaporation in my apt and the sump level can fall and then the pump sucks air. Usually at 2-3 am lol

I had been meaning to do this and got it done today. I cleaned up the sump a bit too and will replace the two outlet hoses soon as they are far from clear and clean

I am going to purchase a smaller one and place the electrical outets to the right inside. This makes me feel better that water will not come in contact with the electrical if the sump overflow the tub as well. The one for electrical will be taller than the sump tub.

Later!

Place some of those carpet savers, plastic risers so there's ample air circulation under the sump also.
Also, get some velcro and some light weight wood paneling or fiberboard and paint to suit etc.
Then place the panels around the stand. Easy access and hides things.

A 2x4 attached to a stand somewhere also provides a good place to mount electric stuff.

Tom,

I have cheap panels they were off for the photo I am working on better ones... The 2x4 idea is a good one and I will followup. I will lift the sump a bit as this will also allow more area for water and less displacement. Another fine idea!

Thanks.
