I just dug a sump pit and put in a liner.
Talking with a "guy at work", he mentions that in addition to stones around the liner - I should put sand. I thought the sand would work it's way into the pit and eventually the pump. He said the sand will prevent a mineral build-up around the stones (that turns into a "concrete" effect).
So, what say and why - sand and gravel/stone or gravel/stone alone?
As always - thanks!
