When finished installing cover, repair pipe and reconnect electrically.) If there are any questions about plumbing or electrical work that may be needed, contact a local plumbing or electrical contractor before attempting.
Note: Use caution when plugging in, using or unplugging any electrical device in damp or wet areas!!!
Hint! If replacing or working on sump pump it's recommended to replace the check valve. If the check valve is old, or not in good working condition, it could allow the water in the pipes to drain back into the pit, causing the pump to cycle more often than needed, shortening the life of your pump as well as costing you more in electric bills!!!
