To prevent a fiberglass basin from floating during the PENTAIR MG200 Simplex Grinder Pump system installation, concrete is your best solution. You'll need to pour concrete around the basin to anchor it securely. The necessary concrete volume varies with the basin's dimensions. For instance, a 24-inch diameter basin that's 5 feet deep typically requires approximately 10 cubic feet of concrete to counteract buoyancy. Pouring the concrete over an anti-flotation ring further stabilizes the basin. If installing in dry ground without surface water, you might need just one-third of the calculated concrete volume. Proper concrete application guarantees the basin remains firmly in place, averting any floating concerns during both installation and ongoing operation.
