Thanks guys.....you should see it ....well ...installed...I dont know, but for some reason it looks soooo much better than the old one.

I cut and installed a small shelf for my high tech dosser (a la Snappy). I was balancing the dosing cup on the edge of the old sump, but I think this will work out better for me. You will have to use your imagination ... the shelf is upside down and backwards, as it was still drying when I snapped the pics.



Heres the shelf installed, both before the sump was filled and installed and after.



And the dosing shelf in action


with the longer and wider sump, came an additional problem.... My cluster f of products and test kits and food supplements etc, etc ,etc, that were around and beside the sump would need a new home....this makes the g/f very happy



Ive already found that this sump is much easier to work in and around. Another plus is, the new sump has 1/2 rigid foam schtuck to the bottom that has greatly reduced the noise caused by pump vibration....Again....happy g/f
