Bashsea Sump Question

Hetfield6j · Mar 31, 2024

I have a Bashsea Smart Series sms-3615 sump that i am working on plumbing. It comes with two different drain pipes of different lengths. The longer ones i believe are for when you are not running filter socks and the shorter ones for use when using the filter socks. To me it seems like once you have the drain pipe on you can not take out the filter sock to clean it? I am sure i am missing something here but i cant seem to find any information about it and the sump does not have any kind of installation instructions. Does anyone on here have this style sump and uses the filter socks? Thanks!

I have Bashea
You have to turn sock at an angle at the top ring and slide down off the tube
I just changed mine 10 minutes ago

Thanks, I’ll go try that now. I also emailed bashsea support and they said to just remove the drain tube when you clean your filter socks which seems like a bit of a pain.

Yes a pain as its a challenge to get pipe back in
