Peggie,

This one will be a little tough. Yes, I did try pumping longer in fact
for a very long time, it didn't even improve a little bit.

Yes, your right, I did mean a strainer rather than a filter. Says
Jabsco on the outside and is maybe 3 inches wide and round.

I am leary about adding a one-way. Will adding a one-way valave just
after the sump really be a solution, or just delay the water coming
back into the sump by another 30 minutes or so? I was thinking it
won't work because the seal isn't very good on these things, and any
hair in the line will just make it worse.

Hi,

Is there space for a/the filter after the sump?

cheers,
Pete.
