Jackel 18 in. x 24 in. Perforated Sump Basin (Model: SF22A-DR) (1)

This basin along with the optional cover is by far the best start to an effective sump pump installation. The construction is superb and although I have not installed it yet I can already see that the results will be favorable. The cover is designed to sit flush with a concrete floor and can support the weight of a 200 pound handyman. Mated with a quality pump I can rest assured that the occasional over abundance of ground water will be managed properly and quietly. Forget a 5 gallon plastic bucket and go all in on a Jackel.

Easy to install, well made. Definitely worth the money. I'd definitely buy again, if I need another one.

We had to redo our sump pit and discovered the company who originally install the pit and basin cut corners. We had to dig it all out, jackhammer the rock they didn't deal with and replace column mold they used for a basin. It was a beastly job, but this pit, the cover and the flange (all from Amazon) have made the new system very good. The quality of the parts and the way they all fit together means this job won't have to be done again. Jackel is the brand to go with!

This is a very good basin and I'd buy it again. You'll like it if you appreciate quality. It's made of the same "structural foam" plastic that Stanley and Dewalt make their toolboxes out of, only it's around 5/16 inches thick. Only a few minor negatives: None of the drill perforations have been deburred. There are shreads of plastic surrounding all the holes on the inner side. Also, although the lid (bought separately) has 8 stainless hex bolts with which to attach, there are only 4 threaded holes on the basin. There are 8 holes in total, yes, but only 4 are threaded. You can see where 4 other steel "thread-serts" would go, but they are missing. It would be easy enough to add your own washers and nuts, but that lacks the convenience of true thread-serts, and would be truly a pain if the basin was buried at grade level. Some might feel that 4 fasteners are enough to secure the lid, but why manufacture 8 holes and then not use them?

This is a serious crock for serious basement water issues. This is not a do it yourself project for most folks, but absolutely works. Jackel makes great products. I just wish Amazon would extend their relationship with Jackel to keep more products in stock. Home Depot carries Everbilt, their in-house brand. Everbilt is made by Jackel. Unfortunately, we had to order the lid from them since Amazon was out of stock.

Worked and fit awesome.

Well made, sturdy. No problems at all.

There it usually not much to talk about a sump basin, unless it’s a Jackel SF22-DR basin! I have three other sumps, all have ribbed sides to give them strength but I don’t like all those crevices when maintaining them. The Jackel is so strong, it doesn’t need ribs. This is a notch above HEAVY DUTY. It’s stiffer that you can imagine. The sides are smooth as glass and the pre drilled holes are perfectly spaced. You will not regret paying a little more for the best once you experience the highest quality imaginable. Good job Jackel.
