I would like a rectangular sump pit that will let me set two primary pumps on the bottom. I mentioned this to a plumber and he said I could use a 5 gallon bucket if I wanted to.
Seriously, How thick must the container be? Do I need to be concerned about temperature of water and its affect on th sump liner? What is the least amount of depth the pit liner can have to work?
I would like to use a rectangular shape.
I talked with someone from Home Depot and they said I could use a heavy duty Tote made of polyethelene and that would work just fine. I am concerned that the height of the pump legs would wear or break a hole in the bottom. Where can I find a retangular contained that will do the job that is reasonably priced? Well under $50?
I would like to use a 12' by 24 inches wide, and 24 inches deep. I tried finding a regular sump pump pit that is cylindrical, but they all taper at the bottom and 16.5 inch bottom is just not wide enough for 2 primary pumps.
Thank you for ideas.
