I have been looking for a larger sump pump basin but not a deeper basin. I have the standard 18" diameter by 24" deep basin. I would like a WIDER basin to help increase the pumping time but not deeper than the 24".
The 1/2 hp Zoeller pump runs continuously at the bottom of the sump basin and the two 4" intake pipes are flowing about 50% full. At the top of the sump basin the pump runs for about 10 minutes and rests for about 40 minutes. Does this mean that my current basin is too deep?
I would like to add a second pump but there is not much space left in the current basin. I have found 24" and 30" diameter sump basins but both are 36" (or more) in depth.
thanks for the help
