How old is a old sump?

[Neo Jeo]

Hey,

I have had me Eshopp 200 sump 30x14 for 3 1/2 years.

looking at it it’s kinda warping but seems fine. Im just worried if one day it will spring a leak.

How old is old? Should I be concerned? Should I just replace it? Hard to find that size with 7” shocks.

let me know :)

If it's acrylic, why not cross brace it? You can pretty easily make a brace across the top of you're worried about the sides bowing out.

True but should I be concerned? How long can acrylic last you think?

There are so many factors to consider. I wouldn't even guess. If it's bowing, I'd reinforce it for peace of mind. It's not so much about exact age as it is condition and original construction methods.
