Hi all,
I am opting to install the ejector pump system (flotec) in my basement slab and I am not clear on a few issues:
1) Do I need gravel around basin and how much? ( I think I need 4 inches per installation instructions, but I just wanted to make sure. )
2) Do I need gravel around PVC pipes that I will be burying under my slab? If so, how much?
3) How far from the basement cement wall can I dig a pit? (one pro i talked to mentioned something about leaving space for headers...)
4) When running trenches for PVC pipes, how far should I stay away from load-bearing studs?
I understand that some of these questions are in the building codes and may very from area to area, but I still would like to get a general feel for the amount of work ahead of me.
Thanks in advance!
Alex
