Does the M53 come with a basin? We are installing a new underground concrete shelter and we need a basin for the sump pump to go into.

No. Just the pump, what you see in the picture is all you get. Basin, check valve and assorted pipe fittings for discharge line are not included.

No, It doesn't come with a basin...I've never seen a sump pump that did. It would be a throw-away item for most folks at this point since waterproofed basements with sump pumps are the norm now & most people buying a pump would be buying it as a replacement. Easy enough to find at any home improvement store...I've even seen people use small plastic garbage cans in a pinch.

No, it doesn't come with a basin. We used a plastic sump pump basin with top that we purchased at Lowes Home Improvement. The basin was placed on a 6" bed of course gravel, and then surrounded with about 6" of course gravel. We poured a 4" concrete cap around the top of the basin.

Been a while, but I believe it comes with one. We bought a second, which fit but oddly wasn't the exact same base.

It does include a barbed fitting for the middle of the false bottom, but doesn't have a dip tube. Attaching it to the mash tun outlet/valve can be done with flexible tubing.

Bottom section of pump assembly is somewhat rectangular 8" x 10.5" and the sump should be at least 20 or 24" diameter to provide a little flexibility to mate discharge piping. Plus, this is a powerful pump, yes small in size, but it will pump the water out quickly. So the basin bottom should be wide enough to hold water and allow the pump to run at least 10 seconds or so.

No it does not come with a base, but it is very sturdy once it is plumbed in. I do not use mine for a pool. I use mine for a water system for my house.

Mine did. A matter of fact it came with two (is it flanges?) the rubber thingie that is in the drain.

I think there are optional models that include the base, a soap dispenser, etc. According to Delta's website - there is a base available, I don't think that one came with this particular part number.

M57 appears to have a larger capacity, is heavier (more metal parts I believe). I switched from the M53 to the M57 with no problem in the sump pit in my basement. I figured the bigger capacity might make it last longer. Both are very quiet and efficient.

After researching installation of a new sump pump quite thoroughly (google, instructions with the check valve, & information from the manufacturer of the pump - Wayne), install it right above the basin (slightly above ground level). As Gerald said below, you can install a union that allows easy access for disconnecting the PVC pipe in case you need to pull your pump out of the pit; however, because the valve itself is easily removable, you can disconnect the valve on one side and have easy access as well.

I belive its just the 91/30 because it fits my 91/30 but when I tried to put it on my M44 (Which the T53 is modled after) and it did not work. I hope tha helps you out.

Instructions will be included with this item on where and how to install the pump. It more than likely will go in the bottom basin.

Cast iron would obviously be stronger and more dependable if you are sucking up a good deal of gravel, but in my situation the m53 has had no issues with dependability or durability. Its been running 3 years now in a VERY active sump basin.

No pump, just the tube and hose. I was unable to get the siphon going with just using the up and down motion that its states. I have to suck the water into the hose then place hose into the bucket.

It comes with a floor mat. It is equipped with a drainage apparatus (tubes) that connect to a plug on the spa floor. You can also purchase a siphon hose available at auto supply stores.

Yes it has a gravel attachment that comes with it. The tap attachment is for a UK outside screw tap but I have managed to use a hose tap attachment to use indoors. You will find it the best clean and fill ever! No more lugging buckets of water again. The hose is super long too. It is very easy to use also. I am unsure where you are but if you are in the UK go through Amazon.com and not UK it works out so much cheaper even with the import payments. Good luck :)

I'm pretty sure it did not come with either but our plumber had an extra for us to use. It is still a wonderful sink!!!!!

Yes, mine did, which is cool! I don't know why this is not mentioned in the product description. The lower capacity (7.5 GPM) one does not have the isolator valves. All you need to add is copper plumbing pipe to hook up, gas line and GFI outlet. You may need to buy a vent if it's going indoors. Mine is outdoors on side of house.
