We often find sump pumps like this one in a Taconic, CT basement, they are poorly installed in a five gallon bucket. They have no lid to prevent keep out debris and protect the pump system, causing them to have broken down by the time we get there. We removed this sump pump and replaced it with our SuperSump pump system. It comes with a SuperLiner Sump Liner, Airtight Sump Lid, CleanPump Stand, and a WaterWatch® Alarm. All of these features work together to keep the sump pump running for much longer and much better than it would otherwise, making the basement dry for years to come.
