.... where are we buying that larger basin and what lid options are there? Obviously paying shipping would probably make this not feasible. Probably just going to get a double wall culver pipe cause it’s so hard to find a decent basin.
I have a simple question. We rented a house with a sump pump in the basement. They renovated the house and added a new sump pump and basing. The basin is 26" deep, and plumbed correctly. But, I noticed they have a 4" corrogated pipe running into the basin from the outside of the house about 24" down into the basin. My problem is that I am getting a horrible smell from the outside water draining back into the basin. Is this plumbed correctly? The central air fan unit is in the sub-basement as well and the wonderful smell just gets blown out into my vents through out the house. I don't think this is right by my instincts, but I'm not familiar with correct pump installation and plumbing. Anything helps. Thanks
I want to move physicaly my sump to outside the house. it gets cold here too. my prob is the sump runs so much all year I replace it every year just so it never fails on me. I want to run outside the drain pipes into a tube and then away from the house I know it will take a 6 ft hole who cares.. I will rent a backhoe. just sick of the running elec and threat of water dameges. ques: how do I prevent freezing of the water outside the house? build an enclosed insulated area?
Get an outdoor sump tank, it has the main sump tank then kind of a second tank on top of that to create the dead air insulation. Outdoor tanks eject through the side of the container VS through the top. I use an outdoor sump for my RV at my house as I can't get the grade required for just a buried sewer line.
@@mythril4 I have not ever seen one of these. Do you have an example? I’ve seen outdoor basins, but not a 2 tank basin with dead air space for insulation
I leaned so much about sump pumps from Ditka in these videos.
How does a deeper will help in really heavy rain conditions? If it's really heavy won't the pump be running like crazy anyways even with a small well?

Where can I buy that 24 x 36 sump basin separately?

Could be designed for a sewer ejector pit
