Not to worry. Sumps definitely do not have to be like this one. I am sure yours will work just fine. This is just the way I wanted mine set up and I just thought I would share what I have done. That's all.Holy cow mine will look nothing like this lol
I was worried about that in the beginning, but I cut the holes for the plate just large enough for the ring to sit on the outer edge of the opening. It seals well enough that I had to drill two ½" holes for uni-seals to accommodate drain pipes (just above the normal water level). When the socks stopped up, the water level would rise too high in that chamber. Hardly anything leaked around the sock ring. I don't worry about a seal around the sock anymore.great looking sump! I am wanting to build the same style filter sock tray. How were you able to get a good sill around the sock so the the water doesn't just run out the hole?
Thanks. Good luck on your build. I hope it doesn't take as long as mine did.So cool - been watching this one as I make mine
No problem. Good luck with your build.Thanks for the info. Time to start building
Thank you for the comments. I don't have a diagram from the build. Just the pictures I have posted. If I knew SketchUp, it would be nice to be able to put together a diagram, but I don't. It would take me longer to learn the program than it would for me to build the sump.I agree with the others. Your sumps are quite impressive, especially for being made from stock tanks. Would love to see a basic diagram of the layout and equipment list, so I can drool more. I'm buying a pre-built sump because I don't get along well with Silicone on the DIY level and could never be happy if it didn't look as clean as your builds.
Space savers? Not sure what you mean.Nice fund on the space savers! Bookmarked
