You simply buy a sump pump at the store:usually 100 or 90 dollars approximately(depends on the type you're buying.A submersible pump,automatic pump,or a waste pump-(pumps out waste and liquids sewerage.)Then you simply place it cautiously on the bassoon or sump tank floor.Caution: must be properly grounded or it will move around or make a loud banging noise when pumping. This is sometimes normal so don't worry a lot. Normal 89% of the time. Plug it in or use a ground protector depending how much power it uses or the type. Then test it by lifting the rod and activating the switch to test the pump.(If you don't have a sump tank, you can drill a hole in your basement floor.(takes some time)Take your time so your hole is even and straight and the floor is flat and not crocked.The pump will be crocked and can fall if the floor's not even.You'll need a bucket for the water and cement. Get a another pump in case of failure!Then take your bassoon tank (brought at the store) and set it down carefully. then if you haven't dug holes do so in the floor for water accumulations.Use some pipes for underground water and sewer water.(Can be from bathtub or sink/toilet liquids.DO NOT PUT WASTE LINE PIPES IN BASSOON. THE PUMP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUMP IT OUT! IT WILL CLOG UP THE PIPES! THE ODORS WILL BE HIGH!USE ONLY LIQUID LINES ONLY! THEN WAY THE SUMP TANK DOWN AND CEMENT IT AROUND THE OPENINGS OR LININGS.THEN WHEN DRY, PUT SUMP PUMP IN, PLUG IT IN AND PUT THE COVER OVER IT. MAKE SURE THE LID IS ON TIGHT AND PROPERLY AS ODORS WILL COME UP AND SMELL LIKE SEWER.Not A GOOD SMELL IF YA ASK ME, JUST NASTY I WANNA DROW UP!Run some water if it's connected to your bathroom water and test the pump too. Then you're done.
