One last question.

I removed the old sump pump and installed the new one today.

The pit that the pump is in isn't level, and there is dirt that comes up from the bottom that is dirty.

1. Would regular landscape fabric be sufficient to keep debris out?

2. Would drain rock be the best way to level the bottom of the pit for the pump?

From what I'm reading, yes to both but I honestly don't know, and at least here I can give more context to the situation.

Regardless, I'm having fun learning about this. Thanks again folks
