Just moved into a house with a pool. The liner has floated a bit to indicate water underneath it. So I checked the sump pit - look like it is quite shallow - around 3-4 ft. The deep end of the pool is ~8ft so should the sump pit be at least that much deep ? If there is mud build up over the time that the owner didnt fix, how can I clean it ? PXL_20240829_160006319.jpg
 
I have had to deal with that. I used a garden hose to break it up and a shop vac to suck it out. The well I cleaned was only 6 feet so luckily my shop vac hose made it to the bottom. I had a big shop vac.
