7” Diameter Filter Socks
All TideLine sumps come with 7” diameter 200 micron filter socks. The 7” socks have a large surface area which allows them to last longer before they become clogged and need to be cleaned or changed. (TIDE20, TIDE30 – qty 1 TIDE36, TIDE48 – qty 2)

Three Drain Inputs
Three drain fittings are supplied for the TideLine sumps to accommodate for the silent siphon overflow systems which eliminate or reduce noise and bubbles formed from water entering into the sump. The three fittings have a female slip fitting where a PVC pipe will slide into it.
