Comments about Hydromatic Sump Pump Hide-Away Basin System - 118-5:
I've had this installed for a month now and it has worked exactly as I expected. While advertised for external use like sinks or washers it is too tall to fit under a sink and must be installed next to it. Small complaint but it is really the only one I have, it has been perfect for my needs so far.
