A:  Yes I bought it and put it together with mo problem

A:  I have put my sub pump for diverting the water from under the house and it has been working just fine for the past four years.

A:  If you're mounting one on top of the other, then probably so. If they would be side by side, I doubt it. That 18" is diameter at the base. You could give it a try and if it doesn't work, Home Depot would probably give you a refund, I think.

A:  You may want to reword this.

A:  I can not say for sure but it looks sturdy and well build to stand the ice and snow.

A:  This unit is well made and heavy duty, but as far as freezing ground with expansion and contraction I honestly dont know. Sorry have no experiance with using product outdoors.

A:  You can leave it inside or outside, if you leave outside with very little water in it, no problem, more than 1/4 water, water freezes and expands, it will crack.

A:  Hello dant36. Thank you for the question. This basin will be fine throughout the winter. You won't have any problem.

A:  Yes, it can be left out throughout the winter. I have a extra one that I leave above ground that I use to keep my snow melt and sand mixture. Seems to do just fine.

A:  Mine has survived a couple of winters without any problems.

A:  My stores didn't have them a aisle; had to order online, then pick it up. Maybe your store might have it, probably in sprinkler section. Sorry couldn't be more help.

A:  wasn't in my store ordered it with basin

A:  We had to order the cover online. They carried the sump pump & basin in the store, but not the cover.

A:  I bought it on line at Home Depot.com

A:  It was not available in our Home Depot store so I ordered it online and picked it up at the store a few days latter.

A:  Hello Robert. This cover is in the plumbing aisle with the pumps.

A:  Our Home Depot did not have one so I ordered one online and was delivered to our store to pick up.

A:  You really ought to contact the manufacturer because most people that have purchased any of these have likely already buried it/them in their basement floor. There's no way to see the number that you're looking for.

A:  I could not find the recycling number on the sump basis. You will have to contact the manufacturer.

A:  Mine is in the ground, so I can't check the information on it. The best I can tell you is to stop by Home Depot and look at the ones they have in stock and hope the information is on the basin.

A:  Sorry can't see those numbers on the unit because set in concrete and with gunk... but if you contact Jackel Industires who manufactures them; they can probably tell you exactly what you are looking for... Here is the link to their site and contact information... Hope this helps....https://www.jackelinc.com/sewage_basins.html

A:  Whatever you use it for or however..itll last longer than the planet...mine is buried.

A:  Hello Fish. This basin cannot be used in food-safe operations. It is meant only for wastewater. Thank you.

A:  This resin can't be glued.

A:  Hi skip. Thanks for the question. We are sorry but you cannot use glue on this basin. The resin used prohibits gluing.

A:  I think you need to buy another basin.

A:  It's a good quality sump basin for which you can buy a matching lid - it worked fine for my application. As for cutting and gluing, I don't think it's going to work as it's make of the kind of plastic that most glues just won't stick to - especially in wet conditions. You could try to find the manufacture and see what they may have to say. All the best........

A:  I would go with a two part epoxy adhesive designed for plastic application's,

A:  We dug a hole [ jack hammer ] in our cellar floor, placed the sump pump in it & placed the lid on top. This is more than serving our purpose. In your case being out side a door way; it should work as well, depending how far away you are discharging the water. The fact that it will be placed out side, concerns me, but it should also prove okay. Make certain the lid is free & clear is my concern.

A:  The application you are describing is done all the time. The lid does not have to be permanently set. You can install pvc couplings and piping for the exterior wiring and also for the discharge from the pump to wherever you are draining it to. You want to be able to remove the lid Incase the pump has to be replaced. Don’t get caught up in trying to design detachable piping. When and if the pump fails just cut the piping and install the new pump and use a sleeve to reconnect

A:  That should work. If you are installing it in a location where the ground freezes, I am not sure if the tub is rated to withstand freeze and thaw cycles. You may want to check with the manufacturer. Also the cover has a slight convex shape to it so you will need to recess the tub a little below the surface of the concrete floor so rainwater will reach the drain holes.

A:  That should work. It is a stout container. It could take the pressure and shouldn't leak any.

A:  Hi AledoHome. Thanks for the question. You application would be fine for this basin. We suggest our Model # SF22B cover, The Home Depot Internet #300456934. This cover will serve your purpose well as holes can be placed where needed. Thanks again.

A:  You are on the right track. It matters not id the water to be discharged comes through a floor drain and into the side or from the top by way of a perforated lid as long as the fluid is not filled with a lot of debris.

A:  Yes, this product will work for that use.

A:  Hi Jeff. Thanks for the question. We would not use this basin for your application. We suggest purchasing a product designed as foot whirlpools.

A:  I think that’s a great idea if something will really turn the water on

A:  Don't do this. Go find a medical device but if you ever need a sump pump basin, this item is perfect.

A:  I'm looking to build a small foot whirlpool. I just had surgery and I figured I could build it with a 1.5 hp pump and the sump basin bin. I want to pipe a hose or PVC into the middle of the bin. To seal it I was thinking of using fiberglass. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

A:  Hi Jeff. Thanks for the question. No, fiberglass resin will not bond to this material. What is your application? Perhaps we have another product that will work.

A:  Yes

A:  I have never tried fiberglass resin on this type of material. but if you decide to try it, scuff up the areas you are going to bond with a piece of sand paper before applying the adhesive.
