THANK YOU






Just bought this home 3 days ago
REO property - Fixing this thing first so I can poop and shower.

I took off the lid today and saw that the lip has broken off and cracked in a few places.
I wanted to take it out or place a smaller basin inside this one and fill dirt around it. BUT I think I will take it out and place a new one in there.

I am wondering if I can place one on top of the floor. Is it code to put them in the ground (NJ)?

Existing basin:
Jackel SF24x36 (72 gallon)
Existing pump:
Zoeller M267

I've only seen one tank that wasn't buried in the slab. Works like a champ, but this ain't New Jersey. Local rules may be different, but there's no reason why it shouldn't function just as well. It sits on the floor in a closet in the basement. Serves the whole house.

The lines come down from the upper floor. I can just cut that line and hook up to a basin sitting on top of the floor.

But I think I've decided to go with a Tramco 400SE series pump with a new basin

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
