Abstract: A planar, pliable sealing member is provided as a flexible seal for covering an upper opening of the well pit for any configuration of sump pump system. The sealing member forms a continuous membrane that provides a gas seal formed of any suitable non-gas diffusive or selectively gas diffusive material, including various elastomeric rubbers, such as butyl rubbers or other similar or functionally equivalent polymeric or co-polymeric rubbers. A seal at an outer periphery hat forms a continuous adhesive seal. The membrane further forms access orifices to allow for the passage of egressing structures such as pump discharge, ventilation, sump electrical connections, etc. A second sealing element is then applied or affixed providing an air-tight seal between the membrane at each orifice and a surface of any egressing structure. The second sealing element may be a similar adhesive, mastic or caulking material as with the first sealing element.

Abstract: A sump sanitizing system is provided including a UV energy source within a sump tank. The UV energy source may be a light bulb or tube that is submersed in the collected groundwater water within the sump tank. The light bulb or tube may be self contained and waterproof, and may utilized light emitting diodes (LED), or other functional similar UV producing mechanism. For new sump installations the system may be integrated within the other operational components and controls utilized for water removal. For aftermarket installations, a UV source may be fixed to or mounted within an existing sump tank in a manner so as to not interfere with the systems other operations. An electrical power supply may be in communication with the UV source. Power may be communicated in a constant manner, or controlled for intermittent operation with a timer or other type of controller.
