#2 is what I did.
You can make it as large or small as you want. My manifold on my drain dumped water into a 5 gallon bucket while I dumped in water in the sump. So very simple.

Yeah. I have a lot to figure out with mine. I don’t want to use buckets and want it as simple as possible. Water in is the easy part for my setup. Hardest part would be going through the wall or floor to a drain line or separate receptacle.

Yes, I agree. I set up my AWC and won't look back. Just a small hole in the basement going to a drain away from the house. We had a mild winter this year so we'll see how it does next year. Fingers are crossed.

That’s probably what I’ll do as well. We’re on septic so I’d rather not have it go into the plumbing. For the manifold part, I may just dump it into a garbage can in the garage for the rare times it will be used. Which AWC pumps are you using?

Glad to see everything finally shipped out, and in one piece! Looking forward to seeing how your build evolves.

Seems to be. Stand went together well. I tried to shine a flashlight at all the glass and didn’t find anything. This tank is a beast though. Haha

Thanks! Gonna have to start putting in some long nights to get it up and running. I can’t wait!

After 3 trips to Home Depot, I’m loving how the water proofing went.

I also got the lights mounted. This setup will work until the tank matures a bit and it will give me time to plan something better. I’ll probably pop a pass through in the wall and just run the wires into the garage for now.

The tank is off level an eighth of an inch and I’m 6’5” so next I’m probably gonna build a base to lift it all up about 6.5”.

I already have tons of plumbing stuff so I can get started on that soon. I may set it up in the garage to get all the plumbing and wiring done before I move it back in the house.

WISH ME LUCK!

Exciting. I'm about 3 weeks from my email, supposedly

Got the base mostly done. Gonna sand and paint, and then install shoe molding and caulk once everthing is in it’s final position and bearing some weight.

I got 3 neighbors to help me put the tank on the stand in the garage. We’ll use 6 total when it’s time to move inside. Time to plumb this B! Not looking forward to this part.
