Cracked shower sump 340DA

[wayne0]

My shower sump box has a crack and leaked into the Mid stateroom sump who's pump crapped out, so now I have water to clean up.
Has anyone repaired a crack in the box? (LOL) What kind of plastic is it? If it's PVC, it should be easy.

I might suggest that if it's original from 2000, it's done it's duty and time to replace. The plastic may be brittle and continue to fail. A new one with the pump and float isn't too expensive, options under $150.

I think that's my plan. Found a new Rule on ebay for $151.

Ditto, get a new box, and pump, and float while you are at it. Heat shrink the wire connections.

Great idea. The newer design improves the lid. On the old design the lid was held on with 4 screws and could be a real PITA to remove. The newer on has snap-on latches.
