Crack in my sump.....

[gregzz4]

Maybe Dave means the added piece would help to stop the glass from bowing out and allowing the crack to spread more easily ?

Otherwise I see no benefit to it without drilling

Maybe he could explain it a bit more ?

If he doesn't explain here, I'll call the shop tomorrow and see what can be done.

I just felt it again and it starts right in the corner at the bottom. What the heck would cause this? When my skimmer crapped out, I was able to deal with it without moving the sump. It hasn't moved in a year and a half. And there's nothing behind the sump except wires.

Just perplexed....

If I were you I will replace it and add extra foam underneath. This way I can get a good sleep.

So how is it going?

I don't have any experience with stop drilling glass, but that just seems like asking for more trouble to me, especially if you have to do it in situ. How would you cool the bit? Trying to stop drill could easily make matters worse? The run might really take off?

Hate to say it, but that run looks nasty & I would not trust it.

I'm going to see Dave at concept tomorrow. Will try the silicone glass route and see if that will work.

We've been talking and if the sump has to be replaced, I've convinced Jason to move the sump to the basement. The bedroom under the tank is now empty so it's a straight drop. This was what I wanted right from the beginning, will make things soooo much easier.

I hope the silicone route will work, at least buy me some time To figure this out. Will need new plumbing and a pump, plus the sump, may as well finish the bathroom in the basement While we are at it. This might not turn out as bad as I thought

Basement sump rooms rock. If I can help it, I'll never have in stand equipment again.
