I have a in ground fibreglass pool with a 6-8" well at the deep end. It is 9 years old and I am in Ontario. I have recently been having a problem with my sump pump getting clogged with very small stones. This is probably settlement from the back fill or underlayment and most recently settled in this area. My last pump last a while, but at the end of last season it was getting clogged with stones because it had spacious openings at the bottom. I replaced it with anew pump with many small square openings in the bottom, this seemed to work however recently the stones are also finding their way in. I am not sure how much debris is down there as I usually always have a small amount of water at the bottom.
MY question is, can I or should I place some type of screening in the bottom of the well (6' down) what ?
Or maybe someone has experience with another solution.
Thanks

. I was going to suggest just that- a small round of screen to the bottom of the well some how secured/pinned down so the sump doesn't suck it up. But you beat me to the suggestion!
