sump pump

[studentspark]

Replacing a sump pump but would like to put it in a sump pump container (bucket) problem is I can't seem to find one anywhere?
It can't be bigger than 450 mm diameter.
Any body know where you can get them.
Or is there a suitable alternative

Thanks

Hmm, It may be more fruitful if you were to ask on the Plumbers forum?

Well, the person who owns this sump did call a plumber and they said its an electricians job!

I did think about the plumbers forum and also the builders forum, but I decided to try with this forum, as I always get good advice most of the time.

It's not difficult stuff, plumbing and wiring is really straight forward, but what has suprised me is actually buying the parts you need to make a proper job.

No problem finding the sump container in the US, but I have looked and looked, but can't seem to find a suitable housing in the UK. Ive even been in drainage/plumbing wholesalers, and I get blank looks from the people behind the counter.

Thanks

Oh and I have just asked on Plumbers so thanks for suggestion

I've used a small header tank as a sump.
