Need advice on preventing sand from entering a sump pit to protect against sump pump stall or lock-up. The sump pit contains a plastic cylindrical enclosure (typical 18" diameter x 22", deep made for sump pits), with 3/8" diameter holes drilled in side wall & base. The enclosure is surrounded with small size 'P' gravel.
Have installed a 1/2 h.p. Zoeller ejector sump pump, since my last 1/4 h.p. regular Zoeller sump pump locked-up from accumulation of sand in summer of '08 rain storm. Please advise.
