A:  I don't remember unpacking a cut sheet when I opened mine. Might have to get a hold of manufacturer to see if they can supply one.

A:  The sump itself has no penetrations other than the top and will not leak. Used with its matching lid it is water and vapor tight.

A:  I bought a lid with an oblong hole for piping to carry the pumped water out

A:  The tub is water tight but not with the lid that it comes with. The intention of the lid is to allow for water to seep in and also to allow for exterior plumbing connections. I am not sure if there is a different lid available to make it completely water tight. It is made of a very tough material, it will withstand a reasonable amount of psi, the exact amount I am not sure though.

A:  Yes you could use this for sewage together with a lid like this one (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-18-in-Tank-Cover-for-Sewage-Basin-SF2000E/204733083?keyword=sf2000e). However you should consult your local plumbing codes to ensure that they permit using a smaller basin for sewage.

A:  As a sewage sump with a sanitary sump pump, yes. It has an available matching lid that is vapor tight specifically for this purpose.

A:  yes.

A:  I would think so, it is pretty sturdy. It SHOULD NOT be used under vehicular traffic or parking though.

A:  yes.

A:  Hi USARockyTop, It is safe to bury the basin that deep. Good luck with your project.

A:  It can be buried more than two feet, however you would need to find a sturdier lid, the one it comes with will not withstand too much weight. I would recommend installing a piece of expanded metal along with a piece of fiber cloth on top of the lid, then it will be able to hold some weight. It will be perfect for the use you intend for it, I used it for the same purpose at a project.

A:  This is compatible with Everbilt 18" diameter sump basin covers.

A:  This product is suitable for a pedestal sump pump

A:  Hi Sebastian, Yes you can use an effluent pump in this basin.

A:  Yes you can fit a submersible pump along with a battery or water powered backup.

A:  Side by side it would be difficult. You could get on of those combination ac/dc pumps to fit and you could probably stack a backup pump on top of the primary pump. Just don't foul the primary pump float switch with the support for the secondary pump.

A:  After I installed the pump that I bought for this basin there seemed to be some room, you would have to research smaller pumps to be able to install two.
