I like in an area with a high water table. We recently flooded during Hurricane Irene and are putting a second pit in on the opposite corner of the original pit. The original pit is only about 18" deep and normally the pump only turned on during heavy rains and there wasn't a problem except for the hurricane. The new pre-fab pit the contractor bought is much deeper (probably about 36"). Question: is that too deep and will the pump run all the time? If the pit is fed by the drain tile line and is solid on the bottom, does it matter? Won't it only fill up when the water level is up to the drain tile level? Should water be able to enter the pit through other holes in the pit?
Thanks for your help,
