## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does a submersible sump pump need a drain basin?**
A: Any water pump needs some place to dump its outlet water. The water out can be piped to a regular storm drain or perhaps to a creek bed etc. I had the outlet pipe of my sump pump going into crushed rock in a garden downhill from the pump. You obviously want to drain water downhill from where you are pumping it. In my case the drain used to be buried into the pile of gravel and eventually the drain water would backed up when pumping a lot of water. So I chose to add a drain basin with the pipe going into the side of the drain basin where I cut a slot with a hack saw. When the water volume was low the water went out the bottom of the basin into the crushed rock below it. When the water volume increased the water was able to flow out of the top grate of the basin.  This eliminated the problem with high flow rate. Every situation is different.

**Q: how exactly are these installed?**
A: I used mine as the cover to a 12"x 12" x 12" drywall.  Else you can install them on top of a plastic box sold by the same manufacturer.

**Q: How do you safely remove the grate for annual maintenance? I have the square type.**
A: Just pull up, may need to remone screws if these were used to hold it down.
May need to use a hook you can lower through grate to pull up

**Q: Can i drive a car over it ?**
A: In my opinion, I don't think it would support the weight of a car. Mine is installed in the middle of my back yard lawn.
