Hi, if anyone can help me with this...i'm out of sump space and need more room. I am wanting to add another sump but am unsure how to do it. Is acrylic easy to cut?I could attach it directly to my original but would prefer to have along the side wall(about 10 feet away).If anyone could guide me in what size hole to drill...supplies...thanks...
 
You can use a hole saw to cut a hole. I would place the hole as low as possible and make it to where you can use a 2 inch bulkhead and 2 inch PVC pipe. Make sure the new sump is lower then the first and drill and use a 2 inch bulkhead. You will use a lot more force to pump the water 10 feet so new pump night be needed.
