Sump Pump Cover
It is very important to have a cover for your sump pump tank.
It can keep things that you do not want to find in your tank
out.
For example, It will keep your household pet from accidently falling in
when curiosity strikes. It can also keep mice and rats out of
your pit. Think of the lovely smell a dead rat would leave if
it died while trapped at the bottom of your pump pit.
Additionally, a cover can make your basement a safer
environment for children.
You can find these sump covers in a variety of sizes. You are
sure to find one that fits your tank. In fact, they are often
sold together. Not just a variety of sizes, but you can also
find a variety of materials they are made from. The popular
form being 1/4 inch thick PVC. They usually come with atleast
2 openings. One is so that you can put power cords through
sealed holes. Another is for drainage. Often you
can even use a radon proof drain in this opening. They
usually also come with plugs so that you can plug up any opening you do
not wish to use. Also look for a cover with an edge that is
beveled at a 45 degree angle. This will ensure you get a
tight fit between cover and tank.
