A: Yes it was fairly easy to install over our aged system

**Q: Can i use my current metal lid on this?**
A: I don't know but probably doubtful

**Q: I have a norwesco 2500 gal water tank and want to add this to the 20" access opening.....will this work ????  Do I have to seal it ???**
A: Should work but I don't know for sure; they have other models that have a square at the bottom that would work for sure; yes you would have to seal it or ground water will leak in

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Septic tank riser
*by T***G on February 17, 2025*

Does exactly what it’s designed to do. Installation was straight forward and able to be done with basic hand tools.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great for a non-standard purpose
*by M***S on March 29, 2017*

It's difficult to "love" a septic tank riser, but that said, this did exactly what I needed. Project was actually a repair to a sump pump. The 20-in diameter concrete sump had been buried 18-in below ground and then stupidly bricked over by the previous home owner. So when the pump eventually failed, we had to jackhammer it open for access and repair. I wanted to extend the sump to ground level and have a lid. I used these PolyLock risers and a lid to extend the 20-in diameter concrete sump pipe level to the surface (BTW, I tried getting just 18-in of the concrete pipe, but it is sold in minimum 10-ft lengths that would need a small crane to move). Anyway, project came out great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 12 inch tall risers
*by J***Y on May 16, 2019*

Wow; received these in 2 days after ordering. Risers are well built and already have a gasket installed on the bottom. Very easy to install. These came with 6 stainless steel screws for each riser ; however they are Phillip head screws; square head screws would have made install a little easier; All in all ; I am very happy with the risers; took less than 10 minutes to install . Thanks for a great product.
