Basin and Cover
The basin should not be less than 18 inches in diameter and 24 inches deep.
Larger diameters are advisable in instances of increased pump capacity requirements:
The basin should be located such that all water flows into the basin due to gravity.
Outdoor installations should be at a sufficient depth to ensure protection from freezing.
Maintenance Tips
•Every three or four months:
1) Clean the pump screen or inlet opening. If your sump collects the discharge
from an automatic washing machine, cleaning will be required more often.(Before
removing the pump be sure to disconnect the unit from electrical power; and
reconnect after completion of cleaning);
2) Pour enough water into the sump to cycle the pump and assure its proper
functioning.
•Annually:
Remove and clean the pump.Clean the sump pit also.
